Yoko received $76 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 Yoko spent in Dec and in Feb?
- Write down all the months in which Yoko spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Yoko spent in Oct = $48
Amount that Yoko spent in Nov = $23
Amount that Yoko spent in Dec = $27
Amount that Yoko spent in Jan = $21
