Table Chart:-

Examples 1-5 are based on this Table Chart.

The following chart is a record of the performance of a baseball team for the first seven weeks of the season.

(A) 32
(B) 29
(C) 25
(D) 21
(E) 50

Solution
Choice B is correct. To find the total number of games won, add the number of games won for all the weeks, 5 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 29.

Example 2
What percent of the games did the team win?

(A) 75%
(B) 60%
(C) 58%

Tables, Charts, and Graphs (Data Interpretation)

Graphs and charts show the relationship of numbers and quantities in visual form. By looking at a graph, you can see at a glance the relationship between two or more sets of information. If such information were presented in written form, it would be hard to read and understand.

Here are some things to remember when doing problems based on data interpretation:

1. Take your time and read carefully. Understand what you are being asked to do before you begin figuring.

2. Check the dates and types of information required. Be sure that you are looking in the proper columns, and on the proper lines, for the information you need.

3. Check the units required. Be sure that your answer is in thousands, millions, or whatever the question calls for.

4. In computing averages, be sure that you add the figures you need and no others, and that you divide by the correct number of years or other units.

5. Be careful in computing problems asking for percentages.

a. Remember that to convert a decimal into a percent you must multiply it by 100. For example, 0.04 is 4%.
b. Be sure that you can distinguish between such quantities as 1% (1 percent) and .01% (one one-hundredth of 1 percent), whether in numerals or in words.
c. Remember that if quantity X is greater than quantity Y, and the question asks what percent quantity X is of quantity Y, the answer must be greater than 100 percent.
