The bar graph shows the number of blouses sold at Jeremy's shop.
- In April, Jeremy sold ______ times as many blouses as in February.
- Each blouse was sold for $70. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blouses?
(a)
Number of blouses that Jeremy sold in April = 160
Number of blouses that Jeremy sold in February = 80
160 ÷ 80 = 2
In April, Jeremy sold 2 times as many blouses as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of blouses sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Jeremy sold the least number of blouses.
Number of blouses that Jeremy sold in June = 30
Amount that Jeremy earned for the month when he sold the least number of blouses
= 30 x 70
= $2100
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $2100
