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

Answer:

$66\frac{2}{3} \%$

Step-by-step 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

$\frac{56}{84} \times 100\% = \frac{200}{3}\% = 66\frac{2}{3}\%$. (Answer)
