The bar graph shows the number of coats sold at Perry's shop.
- In October, Perry sold ______ times as many coats as in August.
- Each coat was sold for $30. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of coats?
(a)
Number of coats that Perry sold in October = 320
Number of coats that Perry sold in August = 80
320 ÷ 80 = 4
In October, Perry sold 4 times as many coats as in August.
(b)
To find the least number of coats sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
