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 20% decrease from the number sold in April. How many foolscaps were sold in May?
(a)
Number of foolscaps sold in February = 35
(b)
Total number of foolscaps sold in May as compared to April
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
100% → 10
1% → 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
80% → 80 x 0.1 = 8
Number of foolscaps sold in May = 8
Answer(s): 35; (b) 8
