Question

soraya recorded her weekly expenses on groceries and transportation for three weeks. the data is as follows:

week	groceries ($)	transportation ($)
week 2	90	55
week 3	95	60

which stacked bar graph accurately depicts soraya’s weekly expenses?

Explanation:

To determine which graph accurately depicts Soraya's weekly expenses, we analyze the data for groceries and transportation over three weeks:

Step 1: Calculate Total Expenses per Week

• Week 1: Groceries = $80, Transportation = $50. Total = \( 80 + 50 = 130 \)
• Week 2: Groceries = $90, Transportation = $55. Total = \( 90 + 55 = 145 \)
• Week 3: Groceries = $95, Transportation = $60. Total = \( 95 + 60 = 155 \)

Step 2: Analyze Groceries and Transportation Components

• Groceries: Increases from $80 (Week 1) to $90 (Week 2) to $95 (Week 3).
• Transportation: Increases from $50 (Week 1) to $55 (Week 2) to $60 (Week 3).

Step 3: Match with Graphs

We look for a bar graph where:

• The "Groceries" segment (e.g., pink) and "Transportation" segment (e.g., blue) add up to the total calculated.
• The lengths of the segments for each week match the values (Groceries: 80, 90, 95; Transportation: 50, 55, 60).

The correct graph will have:

• Week 1: Groceries ~80, Transportation ~50 (total ~130)
• Week 2: Groceries ~90, Transportation ~55 (total ~145)
• Week 3: Groceries ~95, Transportation ~60 (total ~155)

After verifying the bar lengths and segments, the graph that matches these values (e.g., the third graph in the options, assuming standard labeling) is the correct one.

Answer:

The graph (identify by its position/label, e.g., the third graph) that shows Groceries and Transportation expenses matching the calculated totals for each week.
