• A. 30
• B. 40
• C. 2${}^{\text{nd}}$
• D. 3${}^{\text{rd}}$
• E. 3${}^{\text{rd}}$
• F. 5${}^{\text{th}}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

2${}^{\text{nd}}$

The X axis represents the days on which sale happened - 1${}^{\text{st}}$ day, 2${}^{\text{nd}}$ day, 3${}^{\text{rd}}$ day, 4${}^{\text{th}}$ day and 5${}^{\text{th}}$ day.

The Y axis represents the number of items sold.

We first find the highest number of items sold on a day. This corresponds to the highest value on the Y axis of all the given points.

$\therefore$ Highest number of items sold = 40


To find the day on which the highest number of items were sold, look at the value on the X axis corresponding to 40.

$\therefore$ The highest number of items were sold on the second day and the number was 40.
