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

`66(2)/(3)`%

Explanation:

Total Reservations = 5 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 26 + 30 + 9 = 84

Reservations for Fri and Sat = 26 + 30 = 56

So, for friday and saturday, it is:

56/84

Dividing top and bottom by 28, we get:

56/84 = 2/3

Diving, we get:

0.66667

Converting to percentage:

0.66667 * 100 = 66.66667%

This is basically 66 and 2/3rd Percent.

We can write it as:

`66(2)/(3)`%
