Kayla sorts her paper clips by color and summarizes her data using a percent bar graph. She finds that 15 paper clips are green. If there are 50 paper clips in all, how far up will the bar for green go in her bar graph?(1 point)
In order to find how far up the bar for green will go on the percent bar graph, you need to calculate the percentage of green paper clips out of the total number of paper clips.
Percentage of green paper clips = (number of green paper clips / total number of paper clips) x 100
Percentage of green paper clips = (15 / 50) x 100
Percentage of green paper clips = 0.3 x 100
Percentage of green paper clips = 30%
Therefore, the bar for green on Kayla's bar graph will go 30% up.
