The bar graph shows the number of blouses sold at Cody's shop.
- In October, Cody sold ______ times as many blouses as in August.
- Each blouse was sold for $90. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of blouses?
(a)
Number of blouses that Cody sold in October = 200
Number of blouses that Cody sold in August = 50
200 ÷ 50 = 4
In October, Cody sold 4 times as many blouses as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of blouses sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Cody sold the least number of blouses.
Number of blouses that Cody sold in December = 30
Amount that Cody earned for the month when he sold the least number of blouses
= 30 x 90
= $2700
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $2700
