The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Eric's shop.
- In March, Eric sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in June.
- Each jumpsuit was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Eric sold in March = 90
Number of jumpsuits that Eric sold in June = 30
90 ÷ 30 = 3
In March, Eric sold 3 times as many jumpsuits as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Eric sold the least number of jumpsuits.
Number of jumpsuits that Eric sold in May = 20
Amount that Eric earned for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits
= 20 x 50
= $1000
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $1000
