The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at Luke's shop.
- In July, Luke sold ______ times as many sweaters as in September.
- Each pair of sweaters was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that Luke sold in July = 40
Number of sweaters that Luke sold in September = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
In July, Luke sold 4 times as many sweaters as in September.
(b)
To find the most number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In August, Luke sold the most number of sweaters.
Number of sweaters that Luke sold in August = 100
Amount that Luke earned for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters
= 100 x 80
= $8000
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $8000
