Question

The number of apples sold by a shop is given in the table below:
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Days}& \text{Number of apples sold}\\ \text{Monday}& 60\\ \text{Tuesday}& 45\\ \text{Wednesday}& 50\\ \text{Thursday}& 55\end{array}$
(a) If the picture of an apple represents 10 apples, then draw the pictograph for the above data.
(b) How many apples sold by a shopkeeper in all four days.

Answer 1

One apple in the pictograph represents 10 apples sold. So, we can represent the numbers of apples sold on Monday by $\frac{60}{10}=6apples.$
The number of apples sold on Tuesday can be represented by 45/10=4.5 i.e., 4 and a half apples.

Similarly, the number of apples sold on Wednesday and Thursday can be represented by 5, and 5 and a half apples respectively.

(b) Total number of apples sold by the shopkeeper in all four days =60+45+50+55=210
