Julie received $82 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 Julie spent in Mar and in May?
- Write down all the months in which Julie spent more than half her pocket money. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Julie spent in Jan = $53
Amount that Julie spent in Feb = $36
Amount that Julie spent in Mar = $34
Amount that Julie spent in Apr = $20
