The bar graph shows the number of jackets sold at Perry's shop.
- In March, Perry sold ______ times as many jackets as in June.
- Each jacket was sold for $20. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jackets?
(a)
Number of jackets that Perry sold in March = 80
Number of jackets that Perry sold in June = 20
80 ÷ 20 = 4
In March, Perry sold 4 times as many jackets as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of jackets sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Perry sold the least number of jackets.
Number of jackets that Perry sold in May = 10
Amount that Perry earned for the month when he sold the least number of jackets
= 10 x 20
= $200
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $200
