The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Liam's shop.
- In July, Liam sold ______ times as many skirts as in September.
- Each pair of skirts was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Liam sold in July = 40
Number of skirts that Liam sold in September = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
In July, Liam sold 4 times as many skirts as in September.
(b)
To find the most number of skirts sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In August, Liam sold the most number of skirts.
Number of skirts that Liam sold in August = 90
Amount that Liam earned for the month when he sold the most number of skirts
= 90 x 40
= $3600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $3600
