Question

Based on the given pictograph, Sam gives $3$ cookie jars to Tom, and takes away $2$ jars from Joy and $2$ more jars from Max. Choose the correct bar graph accordingly.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

As per the given pictograph,
Number of cookie jars Max has $=5$
Number of cookie jars Tom has $=3$
Number of cookie jars Joy has $=4$
Number of cookie jars Sam has $=3$
Sam gives away $3$ cookie jars to Tom.
Number of cookies jars with Tom now $=3+3=6$
Number of cookie jars with Sam now $=3-3=0$
Then, he takes away $2$ jars from Joy and $2$ more jars from Max.
Number of jars Sam has now $=2+2=4$
Number of jars Joy has $=4-2=2$
Number of jars Max has $=5-2=3$
Finally, Max has $3$ jars, Tom has $6$ jars, Joy has $2$ jars, and Sam has $4$ jars where each jar has $5$ cookies.
Number of cookies Max has $=3$ times $5=5+5+5=15$
Number of cookies Tom has $=6$ times $5=5+5+5+5+5+5=30$
Number of cookies Joy has $=2$ times $5=5+5=10$
Number of cookies Sam has $=4$ times $5=5+5+5+5=20$
The bar graph in Option A represents the same values. Hence, it is correct.
