3. SCHOOL SPORTS The seventh-grade class at Fort Couch Middle School
   had a goal of selling 300 tickets to the annual student-teacher basketball
   game. The eighth-grade class had a goal of selling 400 tickets.
   a. By the end of the first week, the eighth-grade students sold 30% of their
   goal. Draw a bar diagram to represent this situation.
   b. How many tickets had the eighth grade sold?
   c. The seventh grade sold 40% of their goal. How many tickets do the
   students still need to sell? Use a bar diagram to justify your solution.


4. ALLOWANCES The graph shows the results of a survey asking
   500 teens about their allowances.
   a. Draw a bar diagram to represent how many of the teens
   received between $10 and $20 as a weekly allowance.
   (Hint: Since 75% = _ 43 , divide the bar diagram into fourths.)
   b. How many teens did not receive between $10 and $20?
   Justify your solution.
