The table partially summarizes the percent of residents in different counties who participate in performing arts at least once a month. The percentages have a range of

12.9 \%

. What could be the percentage of county

\mathrm{G}

residents who participate in performing arts at least once a month?

Identify Range: question_prompt: What could be the percentage of county G residents who participate in performing arts at least once a month?
Find Highest Percentage: To find the percentage for county $G$ , we need to identify the highest and lowest percentages from the table and use the given range.
Find Lowest Percentage: The highest percentage given is for county E, which is $17.3\%$ .
Calculate Range: The lowest percentage is for county F, which is $4.7\%$ .
Calculate Correct Range: Calculate the range by subtracting the lowest percentage from the highest percentage: $17.3\% - 4.7\%$ .
Calculate Correct Range: Calculate the range by subtracting the lowest percentage from the highest percentage: $17.3\% - 4.7\%$ . The calculation gives us $17.3\% - 4.7\% = 12.6\%$ , but the problem states that the range is $12.9\%$ . This is a mistake because we should have used the correct range given in the problem.
