The number of rooftops with solar panel installations in 5 cities (A, B, C, D, E) is shown in a bar

Q: What is the correct answer for SAT Maths?

The correct answer is C. Sum the values shown on the vertical axis for each city: 9 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 3 = 29. The total number of installations is 27,500. We need to find a multiplier for the vertical axis values (29) that approximates the total (27,500). If the label is 'tens', the total would be 29 * 10 = 290. If the label is 'hundreds', the total would be 29 * 100 = 2,900. If the label is 'thousands', the total would be 29

Question

The number of rooftops with solar panel installations in 5 cities (A, B, C, D, E) is shown in a bar graph. The vertical axis shows values from 0 to 9. The bars are: City A (9), City B (6), City C (7), City D (4), City E (3). If the total number of installations is 27,500, what is an appropriate label for the vertical axis of the graph?

Sum the values shown on the vertical axis for each city: 9 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 3 = 29. The total number of installations is 27,500. We need to find a multiplier for the vertical axis values (29) that approximates the total (27,500).
If the label is 'tens', the total would be 29 * 10 = 290.
If the label is 'hundreds', the total would be 29 * 100 = 2,900.
If the label is 'thousands', the total would be 29 * 1,000 = 29,000. This is closest to 27,500.
If the label is 'tens of thousands', the total would be 29 * 10,000 = 290,000.
Therefore, 'Number of installations (in thousands)' is the most appropriate label.
