The bar graph shows the number of windbreakers sold at Ethan's shop.
- In November, Ethan sold ______ times as many windbreakers as in October.
- Each windbreaker was sold for $10. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of windbreakers?
(a)
Number of windbreakers that Ethan sold in November = 20
Number of windbreakers that Ethan sold in October = 10
20 ÷ 10 = 2
In November, Ethan sold 2 times as many windbreakers as in October.
(b)
To find the most number of windbreakers sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In September, Ethan sold the most number of windbreakers.
