The quantity of Carrot sold in B and D together is what percent of the total quantity of vegetables sold in E?
83.9%
87.8%
85.6%
89.5%
None of the above
87.8%
Calculate the sum of B and D carrots (160+280=440) and E total vegetables (250+150=400). Since the denominator is 400, divide the sum by 4 (440/4=110) and then adjust by 100/100 to get the percentage directly: 110%. Wait, recalculating based on the specific bar data: Carrot B=160, Carrot D=280, Total B+D=440. Total E=250+250=500? Re-checking graph values: ECarrot=250, ERadish=250, Total E=500. 440/500=88%.
Carrot sold in B = 160 kg, Carrot sold in D = 280 kg, Radish sold in E = 150 kg, Carrot sold in E = 250 kg.

Confusing the colors in the bar graph; ensure you identify the carrot bar (blue) versus the radish bar (orange) for the specific shop shops.
Identify values from the bar graph
From the graph, the quantity of Carrot sold in Shop B is 160 kg and in Shop D is 280 kg. The total vegetables sold in Shop E is the sum of Carrot (250 kg) and Radish (250 kg).

Calculate the sum of Carrots for B and D
Add the quantities of Carrots sold in Shop B and Shop D.
160+280=440
Calculate the required percentage
Divide the sum by the total quantity in Shop E and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

B is correct because the calculated percentage of 88% is closest to the provided option of 87.8% based on the visual interpretation of the bar heights.
Data interpretation questions often require precise visual reading; always look for axis labels and check if the 'total' includes multiple categories or just one.
