- How many sweaters were sold from January to June?
- Each bag was sold at the same price. How much was each bag sold for if a total of $960 was collected from the sale of all sweaters?
(a)
To find the greatest increase in sales, look for the steepest increasing slope.
Between May and Jun, the increase in the sales of the number of sweaters is the greatest.
(b)
Total number of sweaters sold from January to June
= 36 + 24 + 16 + 24 + 32 + 60
= 192
(c)
Amount that each sweater was sold for
= 960 ÷ 192
= $5
Answer(s): (a) May and Jun; (b) 192; (c) $5
