Problem Analysis and Solution

The task involves analyzing a bar graph that shows the number of pets sold each month in dozens. We need to answer several questions based on the data presented in the graph.

#### Step 1: Understand the Bar Graph
- The x-axis represents the months (January to July).
- The y-axis represents the number of pets sold in dozens.

From the graph:
- January: 6 dozens
- February: 5 dozens
- March: 1 dozen
- April: 7 dozens
- May: 2 dozens
- June: 8 dozens
- July: 3 dozens

#### Question 1: How many pets were sold in July and April combined?

- Pets sold in July: 3 dozens

$$

Answer: 10 dozens

#### Question 2: How many more pets were sold in June than in March?

- Pets sold in June: 8 dozens
- Pets sold in March: 1 dozen
- Difference in pets sold:

$$

Answer: 7 dozens

#### Question 3: How many pets were sold in March, January, and June?

- Pets sold in March: 1 dozen
- Pets sold in January: 6 dozens

$$

Answer: 15 dozens

#### Question 4: In August, twice the number of pets were sold than in May. How many pets were sold in August?

- Pets sold in May: 2 dozens
- Pets sold in August: Twice the number sold in May
$$
2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ dozens}
$$

Answer: 4 dozens
