Based on the diagram shown below, the missing values include the following;
a = 72.
b = 50%.
c = 40%.
By critically observing the diagram shown below, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that each line is divided evenly. This ultimately implies that, each interval on the diagram represents 10% of the total value.
In this context, the value of b representing five (5) intervals can be calculated as follows;
b = 10% × 5
b = 50%
Similarly, the value of c representing four (4) intervals can be calculated as follows;
c = 10% × 4
c = 40%
Since 144 represents 40% of the total value, the value of a representing 20% can be calculated as follows;
a = 20%
144 = 40%
By cross-multiplying, we have;
a = (144 × 20)/40
a = 2880/40
a = 72.
