Bar graph worksheet for analyzing newspaper subscription sales over months.

Let’s solve each question step by step using the bar graph.

---

Question 1: How many newspaper subscriptions were sold in October?

Look at the bar for “Oct.” on the graph. The bar goes all the way to 900 on the x-axis (Number of Subscriptions).

✔ So, answer = 900

---

Question 2: How many more subscriptions were sold in November than December?

- November (“Nov.”) bar ends at 400
- December (“Dec.”) bar ends at 200

Subtract:
400 – 200 = 200

✔ So, answer = 200

---

Question 3: Were more subscriptions sold in October, November, and December, or in July, August, and September? Show your work.

First, add up Oct + Nov + Dec:

- Oct = 900
- Nov = 400
- Dec = 200
→ Total = 900 + 400 + 200 = 1500

Now add up Jul + Aug + Sep:

- Jul = 300
- Aug = 500
- Sep = 800
→ Total = 300 + 500 + 800 = 1600

Compare:
1500 vs 1600 → 1600 is bigger

So, July, August, and September had more sales.

✔ Answer: July, August, and September

---

Question 4: In April, the newspaper sold 100 fewer subscriptions than they did in June. How many subscriptions did they sell in April?

First, find how many were sold in June.

- June (“June”) bar ends at 700

April sold 100 fewer than June:
700 – 100 = 600

✔ So, answer = 600

---

Final Answer:
1. 900
2. 200
3. July, August, and September
4. 600
