The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Billy's shop.
- In May, Billy sold ______ times as many skirts as in April.
- Each skirt was sold for $60. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Billy sold in May = 80
Number of skirts that Billy sold in April = 40
80 ÷ 40 = 2
In May, Billy sold 2 times as many skirts as in April.
(b)
To find the most number of skirts sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In March, Billy sold the most number of skirts.
Number of skirts that Billy sold in March = 100
Amount that Billy earned for the month when he sold the most number of skirts
= 100 x 60
= $6000
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $6000
