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 $\frac{45}{10}=4.5$ i.e., 4 and a half apples.

Similarly, the number of apples sold on Wednesday and Thursday can be represented by 5, and 5.5 apples respectively.

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