As you can see from the graph on the previous page, in 1995, the black bar (which indicates aluminum) is at 250, and the dark gray bar (which indicates copper) is at approximately 125. Add those figures and you get the number of tons of aluminum and copper combined that were purchased in 1995: 250 + 125 = 375. That’s (D). Notice that the question says “approximately.” Also notice that the numbers in the answer choices are pretty far apart.
