The bar graph shows the number of blouses sold at Peter's shop.
- In May, Peter sold ______ times as many blouses as in April.
- Each blouse was sold for $90. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of blouses?
(a)
Number of blouses that Peter sold in May = 40
Number of blouses that Peter sold in April = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
In May, Peter sold 4 times as many blouses as in April.
(b)
To find the most number of blouses sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In March, Peter sold the most number of blouses.
Number of blouses that Peter sold in March = 100
Amount that Peter earned for the month when he sold the most number of blouses
= 100 x 90
= $9000
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $9000
