11. According to the graph above, the sale of fruits and vegetables in Store S last week accounted for what percent of the total sales income for the week? (1) Last week the total income from the sale of fruits and vegetables in Store S was $16,000. (2) x = 2y

IMO D The question is asking you to find teh value of x St 1: total income from fruits and vegetables = $16,000 16,000=x%*100,000 x=16---SUFF St 2: x=2y x+y+40+28+8=100 2y+y+76=100 y=8 x=16--------SUFF Hence answer is D

Agreed, D. We know from the image that total sales are 100,000. If 16,000 are fruits and veggies, 16,000/100,000 = 16% if x = 2y and x + y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100, substitute for x and solve for y: 2y + y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100 3y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100 3y + 76 = 100 3y = 24 y = 8 x = 16
