The bar graph shows the number of shirts sold at Paul's shop.
- In March, Paul sold ______ times as many shirts as in June.
- Each shirt was sold for $90. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of shirts?
(a)
Number of shirts that Paul sold in March = 90
Number of shirts that Paul sold in June = 30
90 ÷ 30 = 3
In March, Paul sold 3 times as many shirts as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of shirts sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Paul sold the least number of shirts.
Number of shirts that Paul sold in May = 10
Amount that Paul earned for the month when he sold the least number of shirts
= 10 x 90
= $900
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $900
