The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at Perry's shop.
- In April, Perry sold ______ times as many sweaters as in February.
- Each sweater was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that Perry sold in April = 400
Number of sweaters that Perry sold in February = 100
400 ÷ 100 = 4
In April, Perry sold 4 times as many sweaters as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Perry sold the least number of sweaters.
Number of sweaters that Perry sold in June = 20
Amount that Perry earned for the month when he sold the least number of sweaters
= 20 x 80
= $1600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $1600
