Let’s solve each question step by step using the line graph.
First, let’s read the values from the graph for each day:
- Mon: 2 dozens → 2 × 12 =
24 hot dogs
- Tue: 4 dozens → 4 × 12 =
48 hot dogs
- Wed: 7 dozens → 7 × 12 =
84 hot dogs
- Thu: 5 dozens → 5 × 12 =
60 hot dogs
- Fri: 3 dozens → 3 × 12 =
36 hot dogs
- Sat: 1 dozen → 1 × 12 =
12 hot dogs
- Sun: 8 dozens → 8 × 12 =
96 hot dogs
(Note: The y-axis says “Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold”, so we multiply by 12 to get actual number of hot dogs.)

Question 1: How many hot dogs were sold on Fri and Sun combined?
Fri: 36
Sun: 96
Total = 36 + 96 =
132
---
Question 2: How many more hot dogs were sold on Sun than on Sat?
Sun: 96
Sat: 12
Difference = 96 - 12 =
84
---
Question 3: How many hot dogs were sold on Mon, Wed, and Thu?
Mon: 24
Wed: 84
Thu: 60
Total = 24 + 84 + 60 =
168
---
Question 4: Next week, twice the number of hot dogs were sold than this week. How many hot dogs were sold the following week?
First, find total for this week:
Mon: 24
Tue: 48
Wed: 84
Thu: 60
Fri: 36
Sat: 12
Sun: 96
Add them up:
24 + 48 = 72
72 + 84 = 156
156 + 60 = 216
216 + 36 = 252
252 + 12 = 264
264 + 96 =
360
This week total = 360
Next week = 2 × 360 =
720
---
Question 5: Were more hot dogs sold on Mon or on Thu?
Mon: 24
Thu: 60
60 > 24 → So,
Thu had more.

Final Answer:
1. 132
2. 84
3. 168
4. 720
