The line graph shows the number of bird park tickets sold from Monday to Friday.
- What is the difference between the highest and the lowest number of bird park tickets sold from Monday to Friday?
- 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 bird park tickets sold = 4000 (Monday)
Lowest number of bird park tickets sold = 1100 (Wednesday)
Difference between the highest and the lowest number of bird park tickets sold from from Monday to Friday
= 4000 - 1100
= 2900
(b)
To find the greatest increase in the number of tickets sold, look for the steepest increasing slope.
Between Wednesday to Thursday, the number of tickets sold increased the greatest.
To show:
Decrease in the number of bird park tickets sold from Monday to Tuesday
= 4000 - 3300
= 700
Decrease in the number of bird park tickets sold from Tuesday to Wednesday
= 3300 - 1100
= 2200
Increase in the number of bird park tickets sold from Wednesday to Thursday
= 2600 - 1100
= 1500
Increase in the number of bird park tickets sold from Thursday to Friday
= 3500 - 2600
= 900
Answer(s): (a) 2900; (b) Wed to Thu
