Let's solve the problem step by step using the bar graph provided in the worksheet.

Bar Graph Overview:

The bar graph shows Seema’s monthly savings from January to May. The vertical axis represents Savings in dollars ($), and the horizontal axis shows the Months.

We'll read the height of each bar to determine the amount saved each month:

- January: Bar reaches 25 → $25
- February: Bar reaches 45 → $45
- March: Bar reaches 15 → $15
- April: Bar reaches 35 → $35
- May: Bar reaches 30 → $30

---

Now, let's answer each question:

---

1) Seema saved the highest amount in which month?

Look for the tallest bar:
- February has the tallest bar at $45.

✔ Answer: February

---

2) During which two months did Seema save almost the same amount?

Compare the values:
- January: $25
- February: $45
- March: $15
- April: $35
- May: $30

Now check differences:
- April ($35) and May ($30) are close (difference = $5)
- January ($25) and May ($30) differ by $5
- But April and May are both around $30–$35, and their bars are closest in height.

Also, January ($25) and May ($30) are close, but April and May are even closer in value.

But let’s compare:
- April: $35
- May: $30 → difference of $5
- January: $25, May: $30 → difference of $5

So both pairs have a $5 difference.

But visually, April and May look more similar than January and May.

Wait — actually, January ($25) and May ($30) are closer in value than April and May?

No — $35 vs $30 is $5 difference; $25 vs $30 is also $5.

But March ($15) is much lower.

But looking at the graph, April ($35) and May ($30) are the two bars that are closest in height, with only a $5 difference.

Alternatively, January ($25) and May ($30) are also $5 apart.

But April and May are adjacent and their bars are nearly equal.

However, the most accurate pair with almost the same amount would be:

👉 April ($35) and May ($30) → difference of $5
👉 January ($25) and May ($30) → difference of $5

But April and May are both higher and closer in value than any other pair.

Wait — actually, January ($25) and March ($15) are not close.

But April ($35) and May ($30) are very close.

Alternatively, is there a better pair?

Let’s check: January ($25) and May ($30) → $5 difference
April ($35) and May ($30) → $5 difference
February ($45) is too high.

But April and May are both near $30–$35, and their bars are almost the same height.

Looking closely at the graph, April is at $35, May is at $30 → so $5 difference.

But January is $25, May is $30 → also $5.

But April and May are adjacent months and their bars are visually closest.

But perhaps the intended answer is April and May, since they are the two highest after February and are very close.

Alternatively, maybe January ($25) and May ($30)?

But $25 and $30 are closer than $35 and $30? No, both are $5 apart.

Actually, $25 and $30 → $5 difference
$30 and $35 → $5 difference

So both pairs have the same difference.

But April and May are more similar in height on the graph.

But wait — January ($25) and May ($30) are both around $25–$30, and April ($35) is higher.

But April and May are the two closest in value — $35 and $30 → $5 difference.

Same as January and May.

But perhaps the question wants two months where savings were almost the same.

Looking at the graph:
- January: $25
- February: $45
- March: $15
- April: $35
- May: $30

So:
- April: $35
- May: $30 → difference of $5

Is there another pair?

What about January ($25) and May ($30) → $5 difference

But April and May are closer in visual height.

But actually, April ($35) and May ($30) → $5 difference
January ($25) and May ($30) → $5 difference

But April and May are only $5 apart, and January and May are also $5 apart.

But April and May are both above $30, while January is below.

But the question says "almost the same", so any pair within $5 might qualify.

But likely, the expected answer is April and May, since they are very close and both near $30–$35.

Wait — actually, April is $35, May is $30, so $5 difference.

But January is $25, May is $30 → also $5.

But April and May are adjacent and their bars are nearly the same height.

But January and May are not adjacent.

Perhaps the best answer is April and May.

But let’s see if any other pair is closer.

No — all others are farther.

So the two months with almost the same savings are April and May.

✔ Answer: April and May

3) What was her total savings from January till May?

Add up all the savings:

- January: $25
- February: $45
- March: $15
- April: $35
- May: $30

Total = 25 + 45 + 15 + 35 + 30

Step-by-step:
- 25 + 45 = 70
- 70 + 15 = 85
- 85 + 35 = 120
- 120 + 30 = 150

✔ Answer: $150

---

4) How much did Seema save in April?

From the graph: April bar reaches $35

✔ Answer: $35

---

5) How much more did she save in April than in March?

April: $35
March: $15

Difference = 35 - 15 = $20

✔ Answer: $20

---

✔ Final Answers:

1) February
2) April and May
3) $150
4) $35
5) $20
