Question

The pictograph shows the sales of cars in 4 weeks by a car dealer. The pictograph is incomplete.

Key: Each represents 2 cars

If 4 more cars were sold in week 3 than in week 1, how many must be drawn in the pictograph above for week 3?

• A. 6
• B. 5
• C. 2
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B

5

Number of cars sold in week 1 $=3\times 2=6$
(Each symbol represents 2 cars) 4 more cars were sold in week 3 than in week 1.

$\Rightarrow$ Number of cars were sold in week 3
= 6 + 4 = 10 which is represented by $\frac{10}{2}=5$ symbols.
