The bar graph shows the number of coats sold at John's shop.
- In September, John sold ______ times as many coats as in December.
- Each coat was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of coats?
(a)
Number of coats that John sold in September = 120
Number of coats that John sold in December = 30
120 ÷ 30 = 4
In September, John sold 4 times as many coats as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of coats sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, John sold the least number of coats.
Number of coats that John sold in November = 20
Amount that John earned for the month when he sold the least number of coats
= 20 x 50
= $1000
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $1000
