The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Oliver's shop.
- In March, Oliver sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in June.
- Each jumpsuit was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Oliver sold in March = 40
Number of jumpsuits that Oliver sold in June = 20
40 ÷ 20 = 2
In March, Oliver sold 2 times as many jumpsuits as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Oliver sold the least number of jumpsuits.
Number of jumpsuits that Oliver sold in May = 10
Amount that Oliver earned for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits
= 10 x 80
= $800
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $800
