- What is the difference between the highest and the lowest number of zoo tickets sold from Wednesday to Sunday?
- Between which 2 days did the number of tickets sold increase the greatest? Give your answer in the following format. (Eg Mon to Tue)
(a)
Highest number of zoo tickets sold = 4400 (Saturday)
Lowest number of zoo tickets sold = 1600 (Thursday)
Difference between the highest and the lowest number of zoo tickets sold from from Wednesday to Sunday
= 4400 - 1600

(b)
To find the greatest increase in the number of tickets sold, look for the steepest increasing slope.
Between Thursday to Friday, the number of tickets sold increased the greatest.
To show:
Decrease in the number of zoo tickets sold from Wednesday to Thursday
= 3800 - 1600
= 2800
Increase in the number of zoo tickets sold from Thursday to Friday
= 3700 - 1600
= 2100
Increase in the number of zoo tickets sold from Friday to Saturday
= 4400 - 3700
= 700
Decrease in the number of zoo tickets sold from Saturday to Sunday
= 4400 - 3800
= 600
Answer(s): (a) 2800; (b) Thu to Fri
