The bar graph shows the number of coats sold at George's shop.
- In April, George sold ______ times as many coats as in February.
- Each coat was sold for $10. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of coats?
(a)
Number of coats that George sold in April = 160
Number of coats that George sold in February = 40
160 ÷ 40 = 4
In April, George sold 4 times as many coats as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of coats sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, George sold the least number of coats.
Number of coats that George sold in June = 10
Amount that George earned for the month when he sold the least number of coats
= 10 x 10
= $100
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $100
