Question

From the given table, if Sam gives $5$ cookies to Tom, and takes away $10$ cookies from Joy and $5$ more cookies from Max, then choose the correct bar graph.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

As per the given table,
Number of cookies Max had $=25$
Number of cookies Tom had $=45$
Number of cookies Joy had $=40$
Number of cookies Sam had $=20$
Sam gives 5 cookies to Tom.
Number of cookies Tom has now $=45+5=50$
Number of cookies Sam has now $=20-5=15$
Then, Sam takes away $10$ cookies from Joy and $5$ more cookies from Max.
Number of cookies Sam has now $=15+10+5=30$
Number of cookies Max has now $=25-5=20$
Number of cookies Joy has now $=40-10=30$
Finally, Max has $20$ cookies, Tom has $50$ cookies, Joy has $30$ cookies, and Sam has $30$ cookies.
The bar graph in Option A represents the same values. Hence, it is correct.
