A departmental store had 180 refrigerators for sale during a 7-day period. The line graph shows the number of refrigerators left unsold at the end of each day. The number of refrigerators left unsold at the end of Day 7 was not shown.
- On which day was the greatest number of refrigerators sold? Give your answer in number. (Eg 1)
- The average number of refrigerators sold for the last three days was 8. How many refrigerators 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 refrigerators sold was the greatest number.
(b)
Total number of refrigerators sold for the last three days
= 3 x 8
= 24
Total number of refrigerators sold on Day 5 and Day 6
= 5 + 15
= 20
Total number of refrigerators sold on Day 7
= 24 - 20
= 4
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 4
