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

Step 1: Read the Bar Graph
The vertical axis (y-axis) shows the
number of ice creams sold, ranging from 0 to 40 in increments of 5.
The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the
days of the week from Monday to Sunday.
We will read the height of each bar to determine how many ice creams were sold on each day.

1. Complete the Table
Let’s find the number of ice creams sold each day:
-
Monday: The bar reaches
10 →
10
-
Tuesday: The bar reaches
15 →
15
-
Wednesday: The bar reaches
10 →
10
-
Thursday: The bar reaches
25 →
25
-
Friday: The bar reaches
28 →
28
-
Saturday: The bar reaches
35 →
35
-
Sunday: The bar reaches
40 →
40
Now, fill in the table:
| Day of the week | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
|------------------|--------|---------|-----------|----------|--------|----------|--------|
| Number of sold ice creams | 10 | 15 | 10 | 25 | 28 | 35 | 40 |

2. How many more ice creams were sold on Saturday compared to Wednesday?
- Saturday: 35
- Wednesday: 10
→ Difference = 35 - 10 =
25
✔ Answer: 25 more ice creams
---
3. Which day sold the lowest number of ice creams?
From the table:
- Monday: 10
- Tuesday: 15
- Wednesday: 10
- Thursday: 25
- Friday: 28
- Saturday: 35
- Sunday: 40
Both
Monday and
Wednesday have the lowest number (
10).
But since the question asks for
which day, and both are tied, we can say:
✔ Answer: Monday and Wednesday (both sold the lowest)
However, if only one answer is expected, either is acceptable, but technically both are correct.

4. How many ice creams were sold on Monday and Wednesday?
- Monday: 10
- Wednesday: 10
→ Total = 10 + 10 =
20
✔ Answer: 20
---
5. How many ice creams were sold on Thursday and Friday?
- Thursday: 25
- Friday: 28
→ Total = 25 + 28 =
53
✔ Answer: 53
---
