- Between which 2 days did the number of tickets sold decrease the greatest? Give your answer in the following format. (Eg Mon to Tue)
(a)
Highest number of concert tickets sold = 4100 (Friday)
Lowest number of concert tickets sold = 1100 (Thursday)
Difference between the highest and the lowest number of concert tickets sold from from Wednesday to Sunday
= 4100 - 1100

Between Wednesday to Thursday, the number of tickets sold decreased the greatest.
To show:
Decrease in the number of concert tickets sold from Wednesday to Thursday
= 3200 - 1100

Increase in the number of concert tickets sold from Thursday to Friday
= 4100 - 1100
= 3000
Decrease in the number of concert tickets sold from Friday to Saturday
= 4100 - 3600
= 500
Increase in the number of concert tickets sold from Saturday to Sunday
= 3800 - 3600
= 200
