Gwen received $68 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 Gwen spent in Feb and in Apr?
- Write down all the months in which Gwen spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Gwen spent in Dec = $52
Amount that Gwen spent in Jan = $20
Amount that Gwen spent in Feb = $20
Amount that Gwen spent in Mar = $20
Amount that Gwen spent in Apr = $36
Difference between the amounts Gwen spent in Feb and Apr
= 36 - 20
= $16
(b)
Half of Gwen's monthly allowance
= 68 ÷ 2
= $34
Months in which Gwen spent more than half her allowance: Dec, Apr
