The line graph shows the number of newspapers sold at a store over a week.
- On which day was the store closed? Give the answer in short form. (Eg Mon)
- How many more newspapers were sold on Monday than on Wednesday?
- On which two days were 3650 newspapers sold altogether? Give the answer in short form. (Eg Mon, Tue)
- If 9860 newspapers were sold from Monday to Sunday in the week, how many newspapers were sold on Sunday?
(a)
The store is closed on Friday because there was no newspapers sold on that day.
(b)
Number of more newspapers sold on Monday than on Wednesday
= 1830 - 620
= 1210
(c)
Only 1710 and 1940 are the only numbers that will give a sum of 3650.
So, the days are Tuesday and Thursday.
(d)
Total newspapers sold from Monday to Saturday
= 1830 + 1710 + 620 + 1940 + 0 + 1270
= 7370
Number of newspapers sold from Monday to Sunday
= 9860
Number of newspapers sold on Sunday
= 9860 - 7370
= 2490
Answer(s): (a) Fri; (b) 620; (c) Tue, Thu; (d) 2490
