The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Harry's shop.
- In September, Harry sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in December.
- Each jumpsuit was sold for $90. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Harry sold in September = 60
Number of jumpsuits that Harry sold in December = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In September, Harry sold 2 times as many jumpsuits as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Harry sold the least number of jumpsuits.
Number of jumpsuits that Harry sold in November = 20
Amount that Harry earned for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits
= 20 x 90
= $1800
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $1800
