The bar graph shows the number of dresses sold at Zeph's shop.
- In May, Zeph sold ______ times as many dresses as in April.
- Each dress was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of dresses?
(a)
Number of dresses that Zeph sold in May = 40
Number of dresses that Zeph sold in April = 10
40 ÷ 10 = 4
