Question

The given bar graph shows the monthly savings of Sam (in $).


What is the total savings in January, March, and May together?

• A. $500
• B. $700
• C. $600
• D. $400

Answer 1

The correct option is C $600

Let's look at the graph to find Sam's savings for each month.


Sam's monthly savings are as follows:
$\text{January month savings =}\$200$
$\text{February month savings =}\$400$
$\text{March month savings =}\$100$
$\text{April month savings =}\$500$
$\text{May month savings =}\$300$
$\text{June month savings =}\$200$

Now, determine his savings in January, March, and May together.

So, let's add the savings of these three months.

∴ Sam's total savings for January, March, and May will be:
$\text{=}\$200\text{+}\$100\text{+}\$300$
$\text{=}\$600$

$\text{Sam saves}\$600\text{in January, March, and May}$ $\text{together.}$
