The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a market.
- How many more dates are there than lemons?
- If each fruit was sold at $6, how much money was collected from selling the dates and the oranges?
(a)
Number of dates more than lemons
= (8 - 6) x 9

(b)
Total number of dates and oranges
= (8 + 4) x 9
= 12 x 9
= 108
Amount that was collected
= 108 x 6
= $648
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) $648
