Question

The bar graph shows the numbers of reserved campsites at a campground for one week. What percent of the reservations were for Friday or Saturday? Write the percent as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

66 2/3%

Explanation:

26+30=56

5+3+4+7+26+30+9=84

Take 56 divided by 84=0.66666...

0.6666... as a percent is 66 2/3%

Answer 2

`66(2)/(3) \%`

Explanation:

See the attached bar graph.

The bar graph shows the numbers of reserved campsites at a campground for one week.

So, on Friday and Saturday, the total number of reserved campsites will be (26 + 30) = 56.

Now, the total number of reserved campsites from Monday to Sunday is (5 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 26 + 30 + 9) = 84.

Therefore, the percent of the reservations on Friday and Saturday will be

`(56)/(84) * 100\% = (200)/(3)\% = 66(2)/(3)\%`. (Answer)
