The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Carl's shop.
- In October, Carl sold ______ times as many skirts as in August.
- Each skirt was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Carl sold in October = 180
Number of skirts that Carl sold in August = 90
180 ÷ 90 = 2
In October, Carl sold 2 times as many skirts as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of skirts sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Carl sold the least number of skirts.
Number of skirts that Carl sold in December = 30
Amount that Carl earned for the month when he sold the least number of skirts
= 30 x 80
= $2400
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $2400
