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

Step 1: Understand the Graph
The bar graph shows the number of ice creams sold each day from Monday to Sunday. The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the "Number of ice creams sold," and the horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the days of the week.
We can read the approximate values for each day based on the height of the bars:
-
Monday: Bar reaches
10
-
Tuesday: Bar reaches
15
-
Wednesday: Bar reaches
10
-
Thursday: Bar reaches
20
-
Friday: Bar reaches
25
-
Saturday: Bar reaches
30
-
Sunday: Bar reaches
35

Step 2: Complete the Table
| Day of the week | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
|------------------|--------|---------|-----------|----------|--------|----------|--------|
| Number of sold ice creams | 10 | 15 | 10 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 |
---
Now, answer the questions:
---
Question 2: How many more ice-creams were sold on Saturday compared to Wednesday?
- Saturday: 30
- Wednesday: 10
- Difference: $ 30 - 10 = 20 $
✔ Answer: 20 more ice creams
---
Question 3: Which day sold the lowest number of ice-creams?
Looking at the table:
- Monday: 10
- Tuesday: 15
- Wednesday: 10
- Thursday: 20
- Friday: 25
- Saturday: 30
- Sunday: 35
Both
Monday and
Wednesday have the lowest sales (10 each). But since the question asks for
which day, and both are equal, we should mention both unless only one is expected.
But typically, if multiple days tie, you list them.
✔ Answer: Monday and Wednesday
*(Note: If only one answer is expected, either is acceptable, but both are correct.)*

Question 4: How many ice-creams were sold on Monday and Wednesday?
- Monday: 10
- Wednesday: 10
- Total: $ 10 + 10 = 20 $
✔ Answer: 20 ice creams
---
Question 5: How many ice-creams were sold on Thursday and Friday?
- Thursday: 20
- Friday: 25
- Total: $ 20 + 25 = 45 $
✔ Answer: 45 ice creams
