The bar graph shows the number of jackets sold at Jack's shop.
- In May, Jack sold ______ times as many jackets as in April.
- Each jacket was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of jackets?
(a)
Number of jackets that Jack sold in May = 30
Number of jackets that Jack sold in April = 10
30 ÷ 10 = 3
In May, Jack sold 3 times as many jackets as in April.
(b)
To find the most number of jackets sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
