Question

The Delhi School's football team washed cars every Saturday for a month to raise money for the local children's hospital. The students charged Rs. $5$ for each car they washed. The pictograph above shows the total number of cars washed by the team. What is the total amount of money raised by the football team?

• A. Rs. $120$
• B. Rs. $300$
• C. Rs. $550$
• D. Rs. $600$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rs. $600$

One image is equal to $10$ cars.

Each car wash is Rs. $5$

So, to find the final amount:

(1) Let us find the total cars washed

(2) Multiply it with Rs. $5$

Step 1: Total images= $3+2+2+5=12$

Thus total cars=$12\times 10=120cars$

Step 2: Total money raised: $Rs.5\times Cars=Rs.5\times 120=Rs.600$
