• D. The highest sales of Store 2 is $25,000.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The difference between the least and highest sales for Store 2 is $4,000.


As the y-axis is given in thousand dollars, we will multiply the values with 1,000.

For Store 1:


$\text{Highest sales for Store 1 =}\$23,000$
$\text{Least sales for Store 1 =}\$20,000$

∴ Difference between the highest and the least sales is = $\$23,000–\$20,000=\$3,000$

For Store 2:


$\text{Highest sales for Store 2 =}\$22,000$
$\text{Least sales for Store 2 =}\$18,000$

∴ Difference between highest and least sales is = $\$22,000–\$18,000=\$4,000$

So, only Option (B) is correct.
