Hazel received $80 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 Hazel spent in Aug and in Oct?
- Write down all the months in which Hazel spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Hazel spent in Jun = $51
Amount that Hazel spent in Jul = $32
Amount that Hazel spent in Aug = $28
