The bar graph shows the number of blazers sold at Glen's shop.
- In September, Glen sold ______ times as many blazers as in December.
- Each blazer was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blazers?
(a)
Number of blazers that Glen sold in September = 60
Number of blazers that Glen sold in December = 20
60 ÷ 20 = 3
In September, Glen sold 3 times as many blazers as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of blazers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Glen sold the least number of blazers.
Number of blazers that Glen sold in November = 10
Amount that Glen earned for the month when he sold the least number of blazers
= 10 x 40
= $400
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $400
