Question

The pictograph given above shows how many letters were collected from a post box on each of the days of a certain week.

How many less letters were collected on Wednesday than on Tuesday?

• A. $10$
• B. $20$
• C. $30$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10$

The number of letter figures depicted in the pictogram in Wednesday are $4$ which means $4\times 10=40$ letters

The number of letter figures depicted in the pictogram in Tuesday are $5$ which means $5\times 10=50$ letters.

The difference between Tuesday and Wednesday is $50-40=10$ letters.

So $10$ less letters were collected on Wednesday than on Tuesday.

So option A is the correct answer.
