Question
Ashlynne buys 40 juice boxes for a party. Of the juice boxes, 16 are berry, 14 are cherry, and 10 are orange. She makes a percent bar graph to describe the distribution of the data. Which graph does she make?(1 point)
Responses

A bar graph illustration shows a horizontal axis with the terms berry, cherry, and orange. The vertical axis is labeled Percentage and ranges from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. On the horizontal axis, the bar value for berry is 40 percent, the approximate bar value for cherry is 35 percent, and the approximate bar value for orange is 25 percent.

Answer 1

To determine the correct percent bar graph for Ashlynne's juice boxes, we first need to find the percentage of each type of juice box based on the total.

1. **Total juice boxes**: 40 (16 berry + 14 cherry + 10 orange)

2. **Calculating the percentages**:
- **Berry**: \( \frac{16}{40} \times 100 = 40\% \)
- **Cherry**: \( \frac{14}{40} \times 100 = 35\% \)
- **Orange**: \( \frac{10}{40} \times 100 = 25\% \)

Now, we can compare these percentages to the bar graph options:

- **Option 1**:
- Berry = 40%
- Cherry = 35%
- Orange = 25% (This matches our calculations)

- **Option 2**:
- Berry = 40%
- Cherry = 35%
- Orange = 35% (This does not match)

- **Option 3**:
- Berry = 40%
- Cherry = 40%
- Orange = 25% (This does not match)

- **Option 4**:
- Berry = 50%
- Cherry = 35%
- Orange = 25% (This does not match)

Based on the calculations, the correct graph that Ashlynne would make is the **first option**, where the bar values are:
- Berry = 40%
- Cherry = 35%
- Orange = 25%.
