Question 1

A stacked bar chart shows total monthly expenses divided into rent, food, and utilities. In March, the rent portion reaches $1,200 out of a $2,000 total bar. What percentage of March expenses went to rent?

Accepted Answer

60%

Answer

1,200 ÷ 2,000 = 0.60, so rent accounts for 60% of March's total expenses.

Question 2

Two overlapping circles in a Venn diagram show 30 elements in the left-only region, 20 in the overlap, and 15 in the right-only region. How many total unique elements are represented?

65

Answer

Total unique elements = 30 (left only) + 20 (overlap) + 15 (right only) = 65.
