The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Gabriel's shop.
- In April, Gabriel sold ______ times as many skirts as in February.
- Each skirt was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Gabriel sold in April = 200
Number of skirts that Gabriel sold in February = 50
200 ÷ 50 = 4
In April, Gabriel sold 4 times as many skirts as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of skirts sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Gabriel sold the least number of skirts.
Number of skirts that Gabriel sold in June = 20
Amount that Gabriel earned for the month when he sold the least number of skirts
= 20 x 30
= $600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $600
