The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a stall.
- How many more dates are there than guavas?
- If each fruit was sold at $8, how much money was collected from selling the dates and the mangoes?
(a)
Number of dates more than guavas
= (8 - 6) x 3
= 2 x 3
= 6
(b)
Total number of dates and mangoes
= (8 + 4) x 3
= 12 x 3
= 36
Amount that was collected
= 36 x 8
= $288
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) $288
