Retailers are always interested in determining why a customer selected their store to make a purchase. A sporting goods retailer conducted a customer survey to determine why its customers shopped at the store. The results are shown here. What percentage of the customers responded that the merchandise was the reason they shopped at the store? The Excel frequency bar graph below describes the employment status of a random sample of U.S. adults. Use the bar graph to answer the question.

6) What is the percentage of those having no job?
