Emily received $54 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 Emily spent in Dec and in Feb?
- Write down all the months in which Emily spent more than half her pocket money. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Emily spent in Oct = $28
Amount that Emily spent in Nov = $27
Amount that Emily spent in Dec = $27
Amount that Emily spent in Jan = $25
Amount that Emily spent in Feb = $45
Difference between the amounts Emily spent in Dec and Feb
