The bar graph shows the number of shirts sold at Harry's shop.
- In September, Harry sold ______ times as many shirts as in December.
- Each shirt was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of shirts?
(a)
Number of shirts that Harry sold in September = 120
Number of shirts that Harry sold in December = 30
120 ÷ 30 = 4
In September, Harry sold 4 times as many shirts as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of shirts sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Harry sold the least number of shirts.
Number of shirts that Harry sold in November = 10
Amount that Harry earned for the month when he sold the least number of shirts
= 10 x 50
= $500
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $500
