PSLE Look at the graph and answer the following questions.
- How many staplers did the shop sell in August?
- The number of staplers sold in November was an 30% decrease from the number sold in October. How many staplers were sold in November?
(a)
Number of staplers sold in August = 40
(b)
Total number of staplers sold in November as compared to October
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
100% → 30
1% → 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
70% → 70 x 0.3 = 21
Number of staplers sold in November = 21
Answer(s): 40; (b) 21
