Question

the number of computers sold at an electronics store for each day of a week is shown in the dot plot below.

what percent of computers sold on the weekend were sold on saturday?
what percent of computers sold monday through friday were sold on friday?
which percent is greater?

saturday accounted for □% of the total computers sold on the weekend.
friday accounted for □% of the computers sold monday through friday.

Explanation:

Step1: Count weekend computers

Saturday: 6, Sunday: 4. Total weekend: $6 + 4 = 10$

Step2: Calculate Saturday's weekend percentage

$\text{Percent} = \frac{6}{10} \times 100\% = 60\%$

Step3: Count Mon-Fri computers

Monday:8, Tuesday:7, Wednesday:6, Thursday:5, Friday:11. Total: $8+7+6+5+11 = 37$

Step4: Calculate Friday's workweek percentage

$\text{Percent} = \frac{11}{37} \times 100\% \approx 29.73\%$

Step5: Compare the two percentages

$60\% > 29.73\%$, so Saturday's percent is greater.

Answer:

Saturday accounted for $60\%$ of the total computers sold on the weekend.
Friday accounted for approximately $29.73\%$ of the computers sold Monday through Friday.
The percent of weekend computers sold on Saturday is greater.
