The bar graph shows the number of shirts sold at Wesley's shop.
- In March, Wesley sold ______ times as many shirts as in June.
- Each shirt was sold for $50. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the least number of shirts?
(a)
Number of shirts that Wesley sold in March = 80
Number of shirts that Wesley sold in June = 20
80 ÷ 20 = 4
In March, Wesley sold 4 times as many shirts as in June.
(b)
To find the least number of shirts sold in a month, look for the lowest point in the line graph.
In May, Wesley sold the least number of shirts.
Number of shirts that Wesley sold in May = 10
Amount that Wesley earned for the month when he sold the least number of shirts
= 10 x 50
= $500
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $500
