The bar graph shows the number of blazers sold at Xavier's shop.
- In October, Xavier sold ______ times as many blazers as in August.
- Each blazer was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blazers?
(a)
Number of blazers that Xavier sold in October = 120
Number of blazers that Xavier sold in August = 40
120 ÷ 40 = 3
In October, Xavier sold 3 times as many blazers as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of blazers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Xavier sold the least number of blazers.
