INDUSTRIAL WASTE GENERATED BY SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES OF COUNTRY X
Note: Because of the great disparity in the amounts of waste generated by different industries, the graph is broken in three places, and after each break, a new and more appropriate scale is introduced. As usual, the value represented by a bar is read only at its far right end.
For those industries that generated a total of more than a million metric tons of waste in 1985, what was the approximate average (arithmetic mean) total waste, in millions of metric tons, generated per industry?
(A) 42
(B) 34
(C) 28
(D) 25
(E) 23

Electroplating waste = 2 MMT
In-organic waste = 50 MMT
Organic waste = 6 MMT
Primary metals waste = 100 MMT
Average = \(\frac{158}{4} = 39.5\)
Carcass Option A should be 39.5? I think the total has been miscalculated as 168 MMT

The stem is correct though .
