The bar graph shows the number of vests sold at Tim's shop.
- In October, Tim sold ______ times as many vests as in August.
- Each vest was sold for $60. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of vests?
(a)
Number of vests that Tim sold in October = 200
Number of vests that Tim sold in August = 50
200 ÷ 50 = 4
In October, Tim sold 4 times as many vests as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of vests sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Tim sold the least number of vests.
Number of vests that Tim sold in December = 10
Amount that Tim earned for the month when he sold the least number of vests
= 10 x 60
= $600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $600
