A departmental store had 200 washing machines for sale during a 7-day period. The line graph shows the number of washing machines left unsold at the end of each day. The number of washing machines left unsold at the end of Day 7 was not shown.
- On which day was the greatest number of washing machines sold? Give your answer in number. (Eg 1)
- The average number of washing machines sold for the last three days was 13. How many washing machines were sold on Day 7?
(a)
To find the greatest increase in the number of tickets sold, look for the steepest decreasing slope.
On Day 4, the number of washing machines sold was the greatest number.
(b)
Total number of washing machines sold for the last three days
= 3 x 13
= 39
Total number of washing machines sold on Day 5 and Day 6
= 20 + 5
= 25
Total number of washing machines sold on Day 7
= 39 - 25
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 14
