Answer:

How many students had 3 or more absences?  Add together {45%, 21%, 23%} and subtract that sum from 100%:  11%.

How many students had two or more absences?  Add together this 11% and 21%:  32% had two or more absences.  Let the total number of students be n.  Then 32% of these n students add up to 96 students.  Thus, 0.32n = 96, and n= 300.

How many students had one absence?  The chart shows that that is 45%, and we know that there are 300 students total.  

Thus, the number of students who had one absence was 0.45(300) = 135.Step-by-step explanation:
