PSLE Look at the graph and answer the following questions.
- How many foolscaps did the shop sell in March?
- The number of foolscaps sold in May was an 60% increase from the number sold in April. How many foolscaps were sold in May?
(a)
Number of foolscaps sold in March = 25
(b)
Total number of foolscaps sold in May as compared to April
= 100% + 60%
= 160%
100% → 15
1% → 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
160% → 160 x 0.15 = 24
Number of foolscaps sold in May = 24
Answer(s): (a) 25; (b) 24
