you don't actually need to sum each bar value in this question. if you eyeball the graph, you can say that the average is about 40 thousand of dolars. There are 7 bars. So the total must be something around 7*40 thousands.
Atlanta's sales = 35 thousands.
So Atlanta's sales represent 35/(7*40)=1/8=0.125=12.5% of the company's total sales.
Answer: between 10% and 20%
­Hey mmdfl,
how are u finding the average as close to 40k dollars bro? I am not able to visualise that average is close to 40k. Can u help me with that?­
­i tried to use the excess to fill the gap. there will be one city which the excess wasn't use to fill any gap: detroid. so i splited equally across the other cities. in practise, i didnt need to do any math because the excess is no little to be divided by 7­

~35/ (35+44+47+54+34+46+36)
35/296 = ~0.11
so between 10% to 20%

It would be much simpler considering just the larger marks (10 units )

3/28 > 1/10 > 10%
