The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Cole's shop.
- In July, Cole sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in September.
- Each pair of jumpsuits was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Cole sold in July = 40
Number of jumpsuits that Cole sold in September = 20
40 ÷ 20 = 2
In July, Cole sold 2 times as many jumpsuits as in September.

To find the most number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
