The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a supermarket.
- How many more apples are there than limes?
- If each fruit was sold at $5, how much money was collected from selling the apples and the oranges?
(a)
Number of apples more than limes
= (8 - 6) x 9
= 2 x 9
= 18
(b)
Total number of apples and oranges
= (8 + 4) x 9
= 12 x 9
= 108
Amount that was collected
= 108 x 5
= $540
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) $540
