The bar graph shows the number of vests sold at Tommy's shop.
- In April, Tommy sold ______ times as many vests as in February.
- Each vest was sold for $40. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of vests?
(a)
Number of vests that Tommy sold in April = 160
Number of vests that Tommy sold in February = 80
160 ÷ 80 = 2
In April, Tommy sold 2 times as many vests as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of vests sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Tommy sold the least number of vests.
Number of vests that Tommy sold in June = 10
Amount that Tommy earned for the month when he sold the least number of vests
= 10 x 40
= $400
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $400
