Kylie received $80 from her father each month for her pocket money. The line graph shows the amount of pocket money she spent each month.
- What is the difference between the amounts Kylie spent in May and in Jul?
- Write down all the months in which Kylie spent more than half her pocket money. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Kylie spent in Mar = $44
Amount that Kylie spent in Apr = $32
Amount that Kylie spent in May = $40
Amount that Kylie spent in Jun = $37
Amount that Kylie spent in Jul = $46
Difference between the amounts Kylie spent in May and Jul
= 46 - 40
= $6
(b)
Half of Kylie's monthly pocket money
= 80 ÷ 2
