The bar graph shows the number of windbreakers sold at Harry's shop.
- In September, Harry sold ______ times as many windbreakers as in December.
- Each windbreaker was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of windbreakers?
(a)
Number of windbreakers that Harry sold in September = 40
Number of windbreakers that Harry sold in December = 20
40 ÷ 20 = 2
In September, Harry sold 2 times as many windbreakers as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of windbreakers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Harry sold the least number of windbreakers.
Number of windbreakers that Harry sold in November = 10
Amount that Harry earned for the month when he sold the least number of windbreakers
= 10 x 30
= $300
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $300
