Let's analyze the data provided in the table and verify each statement:

Magazine Subscriptions Sold:

  • Teen Charm: 1-Year: 40, 2-Year: 12
  • Myself: 1-Year: 36, 2-Year: 20
  • Tech Monthly: 1-Year: 22, 2-Year: 22
  • True Sports: 1-Year: 22, 2-Year: 26

Calculating total subscriptions:

  • Teen Charm: 40 + 12 = 52
  • Myself: 36 + 20 = 56
  • Tech Monthly: 22 + 22 = 44
  • True Sports: 22 + 26 = 48

Total subscriptions = 52 + 56 + 44 + 48 = 200

  1. A total of 120 magazine subscriptions were sold.

    • False. Total subscriptions are 200.
  2. Thirty percent of the people who subscribed to Myself bought a 1-year subscription.

    • Total for Myself = 36 (1-Year) + 20 (2-Year) = 56.
    • Percentage for 1-Year = (36 / 56) * 100 ≈ 64.29%.
    • False. It's approximately 64.29%, not 30%.
  3. Fifty percent of the people who subscribed to Tech Monthly bought a 1-year subscription.

    • Total for Tech Monthly = 22 (1-Year) + 22 (2-Year) = 44.
    • Percentage for 1-Year = (22 / 44) * 100 = 50%.
    • True. Exactly 50% bought a 1-year subscription.
  4. Twenty-six percent of all the magazine subscriptions sold were for Teen Charm.

    • Total for Teen Charm = 52.
    • Percentage = (52 / 200) * 100 = 26%.
    • True. Exactly 26% of subscriptions were for Teen Charm.
  5. Of all the magazine subscriptions sold, 66 and two-thirds percent were 2-year subscriptions.

    • Total 2-Year subscriptions = 12 (Teen Charm) + 20 (Myself) + 22 (Tech Monthly) + 26 (True Sports) = 80.
    • Percentage for 2-Year = (80 / 200) * 100 = 40%.
    • False. It's 40%, not 66 and two-thirds percent.
  6. More subscriptions were sold to True Sports than any other magazine.

    • True Sports has 48 subscriptions.
    • Comparisons:
      • Teen Charm: 52
      • Myself: 56
      • Tech Monthly: 44
    • False. Myself had the most subscriptions, not True Sports.
