The bar graph shows the number of windbreakers sold at Oliver's shop.
- In April, Oliver sold ______ times as many windbreakers as in February.
- Each windbreaker was sold for $70. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of windbreakers?
(a)
Number of windbreakers that Oliver sold in April = 100
Number of windbreakers that Oliver sold in February = 50
100 ÷ 50 = 2
In April, Oliver sold 2 times as many windbreakers as in February.
(b)
To find the least number of windbreakers sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In June, Oliver sold the least number of windbreakers.
Number of windbreakers that Oliver sold in June = 20
Amount that Oliver earned for the month when he sold the least number of windbreakers
= 20 x 70
= $1400
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $1400
