The graph shows the number of fruits sold in a stall.
- How many more bananas are there than lemons?
- If each fruit was sold at $2, how much money was collected from selling the bananas and the dates?
(a)
Number of bananas more than lemons
= (11 - 5) x 8

(b)
Total number of bananas and dates
= (11 + 7) x 8
= 18 x 8
= 144
Amount that was collected
= 144 x 2
= $288
Answer(s): (a) 48; (b) $288
