The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a shop.
- How many more oranges are there than bananas?
- If each fruit was sold at $2, how much money was collected from selling the oranges and the dates?
(a)
Number of oranges more than bananas

(b)
Total number of oranges and dates
= (8 + 4) x 8
= 12 x 8
= 96
Amount that was collected
= 96 x 2
= $192
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) $192
