The bar graph shows the number of skirts sold at Albert's shop.
- In November, Albert sold ______ times as many skirts as in October.
- Each skirt was sold for $70. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of skirts?
(a)
Number of skirts that Albert sold in November = 20
Number of skirts that Albert sold in October = 10
20 ÷ 10 = 2
In November, Albert sold 2 times as many skirts as in October.
