A city bike-sharing program used five bicycle models during the period shown. Model 1 became available at the beginning of 2020, and one additional model became available at the beginning of each of the next four years, with Model 5 becoming available at the beginning of 2024. The graph shows how the number of bicycles in service, by model, changed from the beginning of 2020 through the beginning of 2026.
The thickness of each colored band represents the number of bicycles of the corresponding model in service. For example, at the beginning of 2026, there were approximately 85,000 bicycles in service in total, of which approximately 30,000 were Model 5.
Based on the information provided, select from each drop-down menu the option that completes the statement most accurately.
The first year in which the total number of bicycles in service at the beginning of the year exceeded 65,000 was .

The graph shows how the number of bicycles in service, by model, changed from the beginning of 2020 through the beginning of 2026.
The thickness of each colored band represents the number of bicycles of the corresponding model in service. For example, at the beginning of 2026, there were approximately 85,000 bicycles in service in total, of which approximately 30,000 were Model 5.
Based on the information provided, select from each drop-down menu the option that completes the statement most accurately.
The first year in which the total number of bicycles in service at the beginning of the year exceeded 65,000 was .
At the beginning of 2025, the combined number of Model 4 and Model 5 bicycles in service was closest to .
Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
In a stacked graph, the top boundary represents the total number of bicycles in service.
At the beginning of 2023, the total was approximately 45,000, which is less than 65,000.
At the beginning of 2024, the total was approximately 73,000, which is greater than 65,000.
Therefore, the first year in which the total number of bicycles in service at the beginning of the year exceeded 65,000 was 2024.
Drop-down 2:
At the beginning of 2025, Models 4 and 5 are represented by the two upper bands of the graph.
The top of these two bands, which is also the top of the entire graph, is at approximately 83,000 bicycles. The bottom of the Model 4 band, which is the upper boundary of the Model 3 band, is at approximately 39,000 bicycles.
Thus, the two upper bands together represent approximately:
83,000 - 39,000 = 44,000
Of the given choices, 44,000 is closest to 45,000.
Correct answer:
Drop-down 1: "2024"
Drop-down 2: "45,000"

Main confusion for me here is how to read this graph? As per my understanding, vertical of say 2024 = start of 2024 year and end of 2024 before 2025 starts....I am calculating my answers like that only.
