~35/ (35+44+47+54+34+46+36)
35/296 = ~0.11
so between 10% to 20%

It would be much simpler considering just the larger marks (10 units )

3/28 > 1/10 > 10%

you don't actually need to sum each bar value in this question. if you eyeball the graph, you can say that the average is about 40 thousand of dolars. There are 7 bars. So the total must be something around 7*40 thousands.
Atlanta's sales = 35 thousands.
So Atlanta's sales represent 35/(7*40)=1/8=0.125=12.5% of the company's total sales.
Answer: between 10% and 20%
