The bar graph shows the number of coats sold at Gabriel's shop.
- In September, Gabriel sold ______ times as many coats as in December.
- Each coat was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of coats?
(a)
Number of coats that Gabriel sold in September = 60
Number of coats that Gabriel sold in December = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In September, Gabriel sold 2 times as many coats as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of coats sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Gabriel sold the least number of coats.
Number of coats that Gabriel sold in November = 20
Amount that Gabriel earned for the month when he sold the least number of coats
= 20 x 80
