The bar graph shows the number of sweaters sold at Wesley's shop.
- In September, Wesley sold ______ times as many sweaters as in December.
- Each sweater was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of sweaters?
(a)
Number of sweaters that Wesley sold in September = 40
Number of sweaters that Wesley sold in December = 20
40 ÷ 20 = 2
In September, Wesley sold 2 times as many sweaters as in December.
(b)
To find the least number of sweaters sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In November, Wesley sold the least number of sweaters.
Number of sweaters that Wesley sold in November = 10
Amount that Wesley earned for the month when he sold the least number of sweaters
= 10 x 30
= $300
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $300
