PSLE Look at the graph and answer the following questions.
- How many markers did the shop sell in March?
- The number of markers sold in May was an 10% increase from the number sold in April. How many markers were sold in May?
(a)
Number of markers sold in March = 40
(b)
Total number of markers sold in May as compared to April
= 100% + 10%
= 110%
100% → 10
1% → 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
110% → 110 x 0.1 = 11
Number of markers sold in May = 11
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 11
