The bar graph shows the number of windbreakers sold at Rael's shop.
- In October, Rael sold ______ times as many windbreakers as in August.
- 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 Rael sold in October = 360
Number of windbreakers that Rael sold in August = 90
360 ÷ 90 = 4
In October, Rael sold 4 times as many windbreakers as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of windbreakers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Rael sold the least number of windbreakers.
Number of windbreakers that Rael sold in December = 20
Amount that Rael earned for the month when he sold the least number of windbreakers
= 20 x 30
= $600
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $600
