Answer:
C. 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attached diagram and complete question:
Two percent of the jazz records sold in April were from a new label. About how many records were from the new label?
A. 80
B. 800
C. 40
D. 400
We can see from our attached diagram that approximately [tex]1850[/tex] records were sold in April.
To find the number of new label records, we need to find 2% of 1850 as:
[tex]\text{Number of new label records}=1850\times \frac{2}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of new label records}=1850\times 0.02[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of new label records}=37[/tex]
Upon rounding our answer to nearest tens, we will get:
[tex]\text{Number of new label records}\approx 40[/tex]
Therefore, approximately 40 records were from the new label and option C is the correct choice.
