Tina 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 Tina spent in Feb and in Apr?
- Write down all the months in which Tina spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Tina spent in Dec = $60
Amount that Tina spent in Jan = $36
Amount that Tina spent in Feb = $21
Amount that Tina spent in Mar = $25
Amount that Tina spent in Apr = $57
Difference between the amounts Tina spent in Feb and Apr
= 57 - 21
= $36
(b)
Half of Tina's monthly allowance
= 76 ÷ 2
