To find an increase in a line graph, look for an increasing slope.
The 3 increasing slopes are from July to August, August to September and November to December. Now, find the month when Cody spent $200 more than the previous month.
Amount that Cody spent in July = $320
Amount that Cody spent in August = $560
Amount that Cody spent in August more than July
= 560 - 320
= $240 (x)
Amount that Cody spent in August = $560
Amount that Cody spent in September = $760
Amount that Cody spent in September more than August
= 760 - 560
=
$200 (✓)
Amount that Cody spent in November = $300
Amount that Cody spent in December = $420
Amount that Cody spent in December more than November
= 420 - 300
= $120 (x)
The month that Cody spent $200 more than the previous month = Sep
Answer(s): (a) $392; (b) Sep
