The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at George's shop.
- In July, George sold ______ times as many sweaters as in September.
- Each pair of sweaters was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that George sold in July = 60
Number of sweaters that George sold in September = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In July, George sold 2 times as many sweaters as in September.
(b)
To find the most number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the highest point in the line graph.
In August, George sold the most number of sweaters.
Number of sweaters that George sold in August = 100
Amount that George earned for the month when he sold the most number of sweaters
= 100 x 30
= $3000
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $3000
