The bar graph shows the number of shirts sold at Howard's shop.
- In May, Howard sold ______ times as many shirts as in April.
- Each shirt was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of shirts?
(a)
Number of shirts that Howard sold in May = 60
Number of shirts that Howard sold in April = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In May, Howard sold 2 times as many shirts as in April.
