The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Andy's shop.
- In November, Andy sold ______ times as many skirts as in October.
- Each skirt was sold for $60. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Andy sold in November = 60
Number of skirts that Andy sold in October = 20
60 ÷ 20 = 3
In November, Andy sold 3 times as many skirts as in October.
(b)
To find the most number of skirts sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
