The bar graph shows the number of jackets sold at Lee's shop.
- In May, Lee sold ______ times as many jackets as in April.
- Each jacket was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of jackets?
(a)
Number of jackets that Lee sold in May = 40
Number of jackets that Lee sold in April = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
In May, Lee sold 4 times as many jackets as in April.
(b)
To find the most number of jackets sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In March, Lee sold the most number of jackets.
Number of jackets that Lee sold in March = 90
Amount that Lee earned for the month when he sold the most number of jackets
= 90 x 40
= $3600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $3600
