Which of the following graphs correctly displays the data?
Answer (2)
Calculate the percentage of customers preferring each topping: Sprinkles (17%), Nuts (12%), Hot Fudge (27%), Chocolate Chips (44%).
Compare these percentages to the graphs provided in the multiple-choice options.
Select the graph that accurately represents these percentages for each topping.
The correct answer is: \boxed{The graph that correctly displays the percentages}.
Explanation
Understand the problem We are given the number of customers who prefer each ice cream topping. The goal is to determine which graph correctly displays this data. The total number of customers is 100.
Calculate percentages First, we calculate the percentage of customers who prefer each topping:
Sprinkles: 100 17 = 17% Nuts: 100 12 = 12% Hot Fudge: 100 27 = 27% Chocolate Chips: 100 44 = 44%
Compare to graphs Now, we need to compare these percentages to the graphs provided in the multiple-choice options (which are not available to me). The correct graph should accurately represent these percentages for each topping.
Describe the correct graph Without the graphs, I cannot definitively choose the correct one. However, I can describe what the correct graph should look like:
Sprinkles should be represented by 17% of the graph.
Nuts should be represented by 12% of the graph.
Hot Fudge should be represented by 27% of the graph.
Chocolate Chips should be represented by 44% of the graph.
Final Answer Assuming the multiple-choice options are labeled A, B, C, and D, you would select the option that matches these percentages. Since I cannot see the graphs, I will denote the correct answer as 'The graph that correctly displays the percentages'.
Examples
Understanding how to represent data graphically is useful in many real-life situations. For example, you might use a pie chart to show how you spend your monthly income, or a bar graph to compare the sales of different products in a store. These visual representations make it easier to understand and communicate information.
To identify the correct graph for customer topping preferences, you compare the percentages given (17% Sprinkles, 12% Nuts, 27% Hot Fudge, and 44% Chocolate Chips) against the graphs provided. The correct graph will proportionately represent these percentages accurately. Since I cannot see the options, choose the one that matches these values.
