Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, B. a circle graph titled social media usage, with four sections labeled vidtok 17 percent, headbook 48 percent, picturegram 25 percent, and tweeter 10 percent

Explanation:

By adding all the numbers you get 500, but you need to make it 100% so you divide the total number by five. To know what percent out of 100 you need to divide all of the variables by 5.

85 ÷ 5 = 172

40 ÷ 5 = 48

125 ÷ 5 = 25

50 ÷ 5 = 10

Thus the answer to your problem is, B. a circle graph titled social media usage, with four sections labeled vidtok 17 percent, headbook 48 percent, picturegram 25 percent, and tweeter 10 percent
