The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a supermarket.
- How many more apples are there than lemons?
- If each fruit was sold at $8, how much money was collected from selling the apples and the bananas?
(a)
Number of apples more than lemons
= (11 - 5) x 5
= 6 x 5
= 30
(b)
Total number of apples and bananas
= (11 + 7) x 5
= 18 x 5
= 90
Amount that was collected
= 90 x 8
= $720
Answer(s): (a) 30; (b) $720
