question 7 (1 point)
the moondance riding academy held its annual horse show for 3 days. the total amount collected in entry fees for the 3 days was $1,450. the amount collected, in dollars, is shown for each of the 3 days in the bar graph below:
approximately what percent of the money collected from entry fees over the 3 days was collected on day 2?
a. 29%
b. 34%
c. 38%
d. 66%
e. 90%

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate the amount collected on Day 2

From the bar - graph, the amount collected on Day 2 is approximately \( \$500 \).

Step2: Use the percentage formula

The percentage formula is \( P=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%\). Here, the part is the amount collected on Day 2 (\(a = 500\)) and the whole is the total amount collected (\(T=1450\)).

$$P=\frac{500}{1450}\times 100\%=\frac{50000}{1450}\%=\frac{1000}{29}\%\approx 34.48\%$$

Answer:

B. \(34\%\)
