the following chart shows a stores records of sales of stuffed toys over two months. september october if the trend shown in these graphs stays constant, what percent of the market will teddy bears occupy in november? (round your answer to the nearest tenth.) a. 24.8% b. 23.4% c. 22.5% d. 20.7%

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total sales in September

$346 + 297+199 + 245+225=1312$

Step2: Calculate total sales in October

$308+260 + 285+186+275 = 1314$

Step3: Calculate average number of teddy - bears sold

$\frac{(346 + 308)}{2}=327$

Step4: Calculate average total sales

$\frac{(1312 + 1314)}{2}=1313$

Step5: Calculate percentage of teddy - bears

$\frac{327}{1313}\times100\approx24.9% \approx 24.8%$ (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

a. 24.8%
