The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a supermarket.
- How many more apples are there than oranges?
- If each fruit was sold at $8, how much money was collected from selling the apples and the lemons?
(a)
Number of apples more than oranges
= (8 - 6) x 8
= 2 x 8
= 16
(b)
Total number of apples and lemons
= (8 + 4) x 8
= 12 x 8
= 96
Amount that was collected
= 96 x 8
= $768
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) $768
