The bar graph shows the number of blazers sold at Japheth's shop.
- In April, Japheth sold ______ times as many blazers as in February.
- Each blazer was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blazers?
(a)
Number of blazers that Japheth sold in April = 300
Number of blazers that Japheth sold in February = 100
300 ÷ 100 = 3
In April, Japheth sold 3 times as many blazers as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of blazers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Japheth sold the least number of blazers.
Number of blazers that Japheth sold in June = 20
Amount that Japheth earned for the month when he sold the least number of blazers
= 20 x 50
= $1000
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $1000
