Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total subscriptions

Add all subscription numbers: $40 + 12 + 36 + 20 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 26 = 200$

Step2: Verify first statement

Compare total to 120: $200
eq 120$, so false.

Step3: Check Myself 1-year percentage

Total Myself subscriptions: $36 + 20 = 56$. 1-year percentage: $\frac{36}{56} \times 100\% \approx 64.29\%
eq 30\%$, so false.

Step4: Check Tech Monthly 1-year percentage

Total Tech Monthly subscriptions: $22 + 22 = 44$. 1-year percentage: $\frac{22}{44} \times 100\% = 50\%$, so true.

Step5: Check Teen Charm percentage of total

Total Teen Charm subscriptions: $40 + 12 = 52$. Percentage: $\frac{52}{200} \times 100\% = 26\%$, so true.

Step6: Check 2-year subscription percentage

Total 2-year subscriptions: $12 + 20 + 22 + 26 = 80$. Percentage: $\frac{80}{200} \times 100\% = 40\%
eq 88\frac{2}{3}\%$, so false.

Step7: Compare True Sports to others

True Sports total: $22 + 26 = 48$. Teen Charm total: $52$, which is higher, so false.

• C. Fifty percent of the people who subscribed to Tech Monthly bought a 1-year subscription.
