In which week of September, the total number of vehicles passing through the toll plaza was the second highest?

III

Correct Option: 3

Let me calculate the total number of vehicles for each week by summing buses, trucks, and cars.

Week I:

\newline

28.3 + 15.4 + 40.2 = 83.9

(hundreds)

Week II:

\newline

24.5 + 12.3 + 36.1 = 72.9

(hundreds)

Week III:

\newline

20.4 + 14.2 + 42.9 = 77.5

(hundreds)

Week IV:

\newline

24.4 + 24.4 + 39.8 = 88.6

(hundreds)

Ordering from highest to lowest:

\newline

Week IV: 88.6

\newline

Week I: 83.9

\newline

Week III: 77.5

\newline

Week II: 72.9

Therefore, Week I had the second highest number of total vehicles passing through the toll plaza in September.
