The bar graph shows the number of dresses sold at Elijah's shop.
- In March, Elijah sold ______ times as many dresses as in June.
- Each dress was sold for $20. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of dresses?
(a)
Number of dresses that Elijah sold in March = 80
Number of dresses that Elijah sold in June = 20
80 ÷ 20 = 4
In March, Elijah sold 4 times as many dresses as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of dresses sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
