The bar graph shows the number of jackets sold at Tom's shop.
- In May, Tom sold ______ times as many jackets as in April.
- Each jacket was sold for $70. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of jackets?
(a)
Number of jackets that Tom sold in May = 20
Number of jackets that Tom sold in April = 10
20 ÷ 10 = 2
In May, Tom sold 2 times as many jackets as in April.
(b)
To find the most number of jackets sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In March, Tom sold the most number of jackets.
Number of jackets that Tom sold in March = 90
Amount that Tom earned for the month when he sold the most number of jackets
= 90 x 70
= $6300
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $6300
