Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate one - eighth as a percentage
One - eighth is $\frac{1}{8}=0.125$, and as a percentage $0.125\times100 = 12.5\%$. By visually inspecting the pie - chart, we can see which category is closest to this percentage.
## Step2: Estimate combined percentage for textbooks and cookbooks
Visually estimate the size of the textbook and cookbook sectors in the pie - chart and add them together.
## Step3: Estimate non - fiction percentage relative to magazines
If magazines are 24% of the total revenue, and we know the relative size of the non - fiction sector compared to the magazine sector from the pie - chart, we can estimate the non - fiction percentage.
# Answer:
(a) By visual inspection, Poetry seems to account for approximately one - eighth (12.5%) of the publisher's total revenue.
(b) By visual inspection, Textbooks and Cookbooks combined seem to account for approximately 30% of the total revenue.
(c) By visual inspection, if magazines are 24% of the total revenue, non - fiction seems to be approximately 8% of the total revenue. So the answer is 8%.
