The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at Jenson's shop.
- In November, Jenson sold ______ times as many sweaters as in October.
- Each sweater was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that Jenson sold in November = 80
Number of sweaters that Jenson sold in October = 20
80 ÷ 20 = 4

(b)
To find the most number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In September, Jenson sold the most number of sweaters.
