i. sales of teddy bears decreased by about 2.9% between september and october.
ii. the change in sales of rabbits is roughly equal to the change in sales of all toys.
iii. roughly 24.1% fewer horses were sold in october than in september.

a. i and ii
b. ii only
c. i and iii
d. iii only

Explanation:

Evaluate Statement I

Using the Pie Chart Analysis and Percentage Decrease knowledge points

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Since \(10.98\%
eq 2.9\%\), Statement I is incorrect.

Evaluate Statement II

Using the Pie Chart Analysis and Percentage Decrease knowledge points

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Since \(-37
eq +2\), the change in rabbit sales is not roughly equal to the change in total sales. Statement II is incorrect.

Evaluate Statement III

Using the Pie Chart Analysis and Percentage Decrease knowledge points

$$
LATEXBLOCK2
$$

Since \(24.08\% \approx 24.1\%\), Statement III is correct.

Answer:

• a. I and II
• b. II only
• c. I and III
• d. III only (Correct answer)
