The bar graph shows the number of dresses sold at Oliver's shop.
- In May, Oliver sold ______ times as many dresses as in April.
- Each dress was sold for $70. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of dresses?
(a)
Number of dresses that Oliver sold in May = 60
Number of dresses that Oliver sold in April = 20
60 ÷ 20 = 3
In May, Oliver sold 3 times as many dresses as in April.

To find the most number of dresses sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
