The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at Ian's shop.
- In January, Ian sold ______ times as many sweaters as in March.
- Each pair of sweaters was sold for $20. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that Ian sold in January = 40
Number of sweaters that Ian sold in March = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
In January, Ian sold 4 times as many sweaters as in March.
(b)
To find the most number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In February, Ian sold the most number of sweaters.
Number of sweaters that Ian sold in February = 100
Amount that Ian earned for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters
= 100 x 20
= $2000
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $2000
