A produce market tracked their top six selling items and graphed the results in a circle graph. The market found that a total of 3,200 of these six items were sold. How many oranges were sold?

Answer 1

To find out how many oranges were sold, we need to determine the percentage of oranges sold out of the total number of items sold.

Let's say the top six selling items were oranges, apples, bananas, strawberries, grapes, and watermelons. If we know the percentage of oranges sold, we can calculate the actual number of oranges sold.

If the market found that 25% of the total items sold were oranges, we can calculate the number of oranges sold as follows:

Number of oranges sold = 25% of total items sold
Number of oranges sold = 0.25 * 3200
Number of oranges sold = 800

Therefore, 800 oranges were sold at the produce market.
