The bar graph shows the number of blouses sold at Bobby's shop.
- In October, Bobby sold ______ times as many blouses as in August.
- Each blouse was sold for $90. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blouses?
(a)
Number of blouses that Bobby sold in October = 400
Number of blouses that Bobby sold in August = 100
400 ÷ 100 = 4
In October, Bobby sold 4 times as many blouses as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of blouses sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Bobby sold the least number of blouses.
Number of blouses that Bobby sold in December = 10
Amount that Bobby earned for the month when he sold the least number of blouses
= 10 x 90
= $900
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $900
