Question

A store sold 200 cell phone covers in April. The circle

graph shows the
percent of each color sold in that month. How many
more black covers
were sold than blue covers?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Given

`Total = 200`

From the attachment, we have:

`Black = 35\%`

`Blue = 23\%`

Required

How many more of black than blue were sold

First, calculate the difference in percentage sold

`d = 35\% - 23\%`

`d = 12\%`

Multiply by the total phones sold;

`d * 200 = 12\% * 200`

`d * 200 = 24`

Hence, 24 more blacks were sold than blue
