(ii) __ ice creams were sold in all.

• A. ice–cream; $22$
• B. cake; $12$
• C. pizza; $12$
• D. cake; $17$

Answer 1

The correct option is B cake; $12$

Say: Let’s look at the given tally chart and read the data to complete the given statements.

Steps:
The given tally chart shows the number of food items sold during the weekends.
Each
means $1$ and each
means $5.$
On reading the data,
Ice cream $=5+5+2=12$
Burger $=5+5+3=13$
Fried rice $=5+5+4=14$
Pizza $=5+5+5+1=16$
Cake $=5+5+5+2=17$
Therefore, we can interpret that the sale of cake is the most, since the highest number of marks are put in front of the cake.
And, the number of ice-creams sold $=12.$
Hence, Option D is the answer.
