The bar graph shows the number of blazers sold at Will's shop.
- In October, Will sold ______ times as many blazers as in August.
- Each blazer was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blazers?
(a)
Number of blazers that Will sold in October = 320
Number of blazers that Will sold in August = 80
320 ÷ 80 = 4
In October, Will sold 4 times as many blazers as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of blazers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Will sold the least number of blazers.
Number of blazers that Will sold in December = 20
Amount that Will earned for the month when he sold the least number of blazers
= 20 x 40
= $800
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $800
