Explanation:

Step1: Identify the percentage for 0 stars

From the bar graph, the percentage of performers who earned 0 stars is 20% (the height of the bar for 0 stars is at 20 on the percentage axis).

Step2: Calculate the number of performers

The total number of performers is 140. To find 20% of 140, we use the formula: $\text{Number of performers} = \frac{20}{100} \times 140$

First, simplify $\frac{20}{100}$ to 0.2. Then, $0.2 \times 140 = 28$

Answer:

28
