Jade received $88 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 Jade spent in Jul and in Sep?
- Write down all the months in which Jade spent more than half her allowance. Give the answer in short form. (Eg Jan, Mar)
(a)
Amount that Jade spent in May = $48
Amount that Jade spent in Jun = $40
Amount that Jade spent in Jul = $22
Amount that Jade spent in Aug = $43
