Answer 1

456×100÷1700≈26.8
607×100÷1700≈35.7
637×100÷1700≈37.4

So the answer is C)27%, 36%, 37%.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

c) 27 percent, 36 percent, 37 percent

Explanation:

Given,

Hot dogs sold by,

Vendor a = 456

Vendor b = 607

Vendor c = 637,

Total hot dogs = 1700,

Thus, the percentage of the hot dogs sold by a =
`\frac{\text{Hot dog sold by a}}{\text{Total hot dogs}}* 100`

`=(456)/(1700)* 100`

`=(456)/(17)`

= 26.82%

≈ 27%

Similarly,

Percentage of the hot dogs sold by a

`=(607)/(1700)* 100`

`=(607)/(17)`

= 35.71%

≈ 36%

Percentage of the hot dogs sold by a

`=(637)/(1700)* 100`

`=(637)/(17)`

= 37.47%

≈ 37%

Hence, OPTION c) is correct.
