C. 40

Explanation:

Please find the attached diagram and complete question:

Two percent of the jazz records sold in April were from a new label. About how many records were from the new label?

A. 80

B. 800

C. 40

D. 400

We can see from our attached diagram that approximately
`1850` records were sold in April.

To find the number of new label records, we need to find 2% of 1850 as:

`\text{Number of new label records}=1850* (2)/(100)`

`\text{Number of new label records}=1850* 0.02`

`\text{Number of new label records}=37`

Upon rounding our answer to nearest tens, we will get:

`\text{Number of new label records}\approx 40`

Therefore, approximately 40 records were from the new label and option C is the correct choice.
