Use the image to answer the question.

A circle graph is divided into 3 sections. The value for copper is 56 percent. The value for manganese is 9 percent. The section labeled silver is not assigned a percentage value.

The circle graph represents the breakdown of metals in a Jefferson nickel. Each category is represented as a percentage of the total volume of the coin. What percentage of the Jefferson nickel is made up of silver?

(1 point)

Answer 1

The total percentage of the circle graph should add up to 100%. Since copper is 56% and manganese is 9%, the remaining percentage for silver would be:

100% - 56% - 9% = 35%

Therefore, 35% of the Jefferson nickel is made up of silver.
