The bar graph shows the number of jumpsuits sold at Seth's shop.
- In October, Seth sold ______ times as many jumpsuits as in August.
- Each jumpsuit was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of jumpsuits that Seth sold in October = 280
Number of jumpsuits that Seth sold in August = 70
280 ÷ 70 = 4
In October, Seth sold 4 times as many jumpsuits as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of jumpsuits sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In December, Seth sold the least number of jumpsuits.
Number of jumpsuits that Seth sold in December = 20
Amount that Seth earned for the month when he sold the least number of jumpsuits
= 20 x 50
= $1000
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $1000
