PSLE Look at the graph and answer the following questions.
- How many foolscaps did the shop sell in February?
- The number of foolscaps sold in May was an 40% decrease from the number sold in April. How many foolscaps were sold in May?
(a)
Number of foolscaps sold in February = 20
(b)
Total number of foolscaps sold in May as compared to April
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
100% → 5
1% → 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
60% → 60 x 0.05 = 3
Number of foolscaps sold in May = 3
Answer(s): 20; (b) 3
