The graph shows the number of sandwiches sold by a food outlet in a week.
- Which day showed a decrease in the number of sandwiches sold compared to the previous day? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Mon)
- Each sandwich was sold at $8 each. How much money did the food outlet earn from the total sales on Saturday and Sunday?
(a)
To find a decrease in a line graph, look for a decreasing slope.
The day that showed a decrease in the number of sandwiches sold compared to the previous day is Thursday (Thu).
(b)
Number of sandwiches sold on Saturday and Sunday
= 33 + 43
= 76
Total sales on Saturday and Sunday
= 76 x 8
= $608
Answer(s): (a) Thu; (b) $608
