Victoria received $80 from her father each month for her allowance. The line graph shows the amount of allowance she spent each month.
- What is the difference between the amounts Victoria spent in Jan and in Mar?
- Write down all the months in which Victoria spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Victoria spent in Nov = $56
Amount that Victoria spent in Dec = $22
Amount that Victoria spent in Jan = $26
