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 40% increase from the number sold in April. How many foolscaps were sold in May?
(a)
Number of foolscaps sold in March = 10
(b)
Total number of foolscaps sold in May as compared to April
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
100% → 25
1% → 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
140% → 140 x 0.25 = 35
Number of foolscaps sold in May = 35
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 35
