The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Reggie's shop.
- In March, Reggie sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in June.
- Each jumpsuit was sold for $60. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Reggie sold in March = 60
Number of jumpsuits that Reggie sold in June = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In March, Reggie sold 2 times as many jumpsuits as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Reggie sold the least number of jumpsuits.
Number of jumpsuits that Reggie sold in May = 20
Amount that Reggie earned for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits
= 20 x 60
= $1200
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $1200
