The bar graph shows the number of jackets sold at Bobby's shop.
- In April, Bobby sold ______ times as many jackets as in February.
- Each jacket was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jackets?
(a)
Number of jackets that Bobby sold in April = 240
Number of jackets that Bobby sold in February = 80
240 ÷ 80 = 3
In April, Bobby sold 3 times as many jackets as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of jackets sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Bobby sold the least number of jackets.
Number of jackets that Bobby sold in June = 20
Amount that Bobby earned for the month when he sold the least number of jackets
= 20 x 80
= $1600
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $1600
