The bar graph shows the number of vests sold at Cole's shop.
- In January, Cole sold ______ times as many vests as in March.
- Each pair of vests was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of vests?
(a)
Number of vests that Cole sold in January = 90
Number of vests that Cole sold in March = 30
90 ÷ 30 = 3
In January, Cole sold 3 times as many vests as in March.
(b)
To find the most number of vests sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In February, Cole sold the most number of vests.

Amount that Cole earned for the month when he sold the most number of vests
= 100 x 50
= $5000
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) $5000
