60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0 top 1% next 19% bottom 80% based on this graph, how much wealth did the top 20…

Explanation:

Step1: Identify top 20% groups

The top 20% consists of "Top 1%" and "Next 19%".

Step2: Read their wealth percentages

From the graph, "Top 1%" has ~35% (wait, no, wait: Wait, the "Top 1%" bar is around 35%? Wait no, looking at the y-axis: Top 1% bar is between 30-40, maybe 35? Next 19% is between 50-60, maybe 55? Wait no, wait the question is top 20% (1% + 19%). Wait, no, let's re-express: The "Top 1%" and "Next 19%" together make 20% of the population. So we need to add their wealth percentages. From the graph, "Top 1%" has a bar around 35%? Wait no, the y-axis: Top 1% bar is at ~35%? Wait no, the "Next 19%" bar is at ~55%? Wait no, the labels: Wait the graph's y-axis is percentage of wealth. So "Top 1%" (1% of population) holds, say, 35% of wealth? "Next 19%" (19% of population) holds ~55%? Wait no, that can't be. Wait, no, the top 20% is 1% + 19%, so we add their wealth shares. Wait the options: the answer is about 90%? Wait no, let's check the options. Wait the options are about 35, 55, 80, 90. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait the "Top 1%" bar is, say, 35%? "Next 19%" is 55%? Then 35 + 55 = 90. So top 20% (1% + 19%) holds 35 + 55 = 90%? Wait the options include "about 90 percent". Wait let's re-express: The top 1% (of population) has a wealth bar, say, 35%? Next 19% (of population) has 55%? Then 35 + 55 = 90. So the top 20% (1% + 19%) holds about 90% of wealth.

Step3: Match with options

The option "about 90 percent" matches the sum of the two groups (Top 1% and Next 19%) which make up the top 20% of the population.

Answer:

about 90 percent (the option with "about 90 percent")
