The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a stall.
- How many more apples are there than lemons?
- If each fruit was sold at $6, how much money was collected from selling the apples and the dates?
(a)
Number of apples more than lemons
= (11 - 5) x 9
= 6 x 9
= 54
(b)
Total number of apples and dates
= (11 + 7) x 9
= 18 x 9
= 162
Amount that was collected
= 162 x 6
= $972
Answer(s): (a) 54; (b) $972
