PSLE Look at the graph and answer the following questions.
- How many staplers did the shop sell in March?
- The number of staplers sold in May was an 60% increase from the number sold in April. How many staplers were sold in May?
(a)
Number of staplers sold in March = 10
(b)
Total number of staplers sold in May as compared to April
= 100% + 60%
= 160%
100% → 25
1% → 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
160% → 160 x 0.25 = 40
Number of staplers sold in May = 40
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 40
