Fanny received $60 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 Fanny spent in Feb and in Apr?
- Write down all the months in which Fanny spent more than half her pocket money. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Fanny spent in Dec = $41
Amount that Fanny spent in Jan = $30
Amount that Fanny spent in Feb = $21
Amount that Fanny spent in Mar = $23
