The graph shows the number of vegetables sold in a market.
- How many more dates are there than apples?
- If each fruit was sold at $8, how much money was collected from selling the guavas and the dates?
(a)
Number of dates more than apples
= (10 - 4) x 6
= 6 x 6
= 36
(b)
Total number of guavas and dates
= (6 + 10) x 6
= 16 x 6
= 96
Amount that was collected
= 96 x 8
= $768
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) $768
