The line graph shows the amount of money Caden spent from January to June.

1. Of the amount Caden spent in April, $163 was spent on food and the remaining amount was spent on transport. How much did he spend on transport in April?
2. In which month did Caden spend $200 less than the previous month? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Jan)

(a)
Amount that Caden spent in April = $580

Amount that Caden spent on transport
= 580 - 163
= $417

(b)
To find a decrease in a line graph, look for a decreasing slope. 

The 2 decreasing slopes are from January to February and April to May. Now, find the month when Caden spent $200 less than the previous month.

Amount that Caden spent in January = $240
Amount that Caden spent in February = $40

Amount that Caden spent in February less than January
= 240 - 40
= $200 (✓)

Amount that Caden spent in April = $580
Amount that Caden spent in May = $460

Amount that Caden spent in May less than April
= 580 - 460
= $120 (x)

The month that Caden spent $200 more than the previous month = Feb

Answer(s): (a) $417; (b) Feb
