Question

for a class project, anita compared the price of a medium - sized box of superflakes cereal at five different stores. all the prices were recorded on the same day. the graph below shows the prices she recorded.
which is closest to the price of the box of cereal at store #2?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the bar graph

Observe the height of the bar for Store #2. Each horizontal grid - line represents an increment. Estimate the value based on the position of the bar.

Step2: Determine the closest value

The bar for Store #2 is above the \(1.50\) - dollar mark but below \(1.75\) - dollar mark. By visual inspection, it is closest to \(1.70\) (assuming each small grid is \(0.10\) - dollar increment from the major grid - lines of \(0.50\)).

Answer:

\(1.70\)
