    The table above shows the number of books sold by a bookstore each day during its first week of business. On which day did the bookstore sell its 300th book?

    Day	Books Sold
    Monday	88
    Tuesday	65
    Wednesday	63
    Thursday	40
    Friday	51
    Saturday	128
    Sunday	45

    • A. Wednesday
    • B. Thursday
    • C. Friday
    • D. Saturday

    To find the answer, we sum the books sold each day until we reach or exceed 300:

    1. Monday: 88 books
    2. Tuesday: 88 + 65 = 153 books
    3. Wednesday: 153 + 63 = 216 books
    4. Thursday: 216 + 40 = 256 books
    5. Friday: 256 + 51 = 307 books

    Answer: C. Friday
