Explanation:
Let’s go step by step using the table:
1) Total sales in June = cones + sundaes + milkshakes = 31 + 62 + 18 =
111
2) Total in July = 117 (given). Total in June = 111. So more in July = 117 − 111 =
24
3) Milkshakes in July = total July (117) − cones (37) − sundaes (45) = 117 − 82 =
35
4) Cones in August = 59, cones in June = 31 → difference = 59 − 31 =
28
5) June + July sundaes = 62 + 45 = 107
August sundaes = 107 + 9 =
116? Wait — check again!
The question says: *“If 9 more sundaes were sold in August than both June and July combined”*
So August sundaes = (62 + 45) + 9 = 107 + 9 =
116
But the table shows a “?” for August sundaes — and total August is 203. Let’s verify:
August cones = 59, milkshakes = 28, so sundaes = 203 − 59 − 28 =
116 ✔
So answer is
116, not 79 — earlier final answer was wrong. Let me correct everything.
Wait — I made a mistake in the Final Answer above. Let’s recalculate all carefully:
Given:
- June: cones=31, sundaes=62, milkshakes=18 → total = 31+62+18 =
111
- July: cones=37, sundaes=45, milkshakes=? → total=117
So milkshakes = 117 − 37 − 45 =
35
- August: cones=59, milkshakes=28, total=203
So sundaes = 203 − 59 − 28 =
116
Now answer each:
1) June total =
111
2) July − June = 117 − 111 =
6? Wait — no! The question asks: *“How many more ice cream sales were made in July than in June?”*
That’s total sales: 117 − 111 =
6, not 24. Earlier I said 24 — that was wrong.
Let me double-check: 117 − 111 = 6. Yes.
3) Milkshakes in July =
35 (already calculated)
4) More cones in August than June: 59 − 31 =
28
5) June + July sundaes = 62 + 45 = 107
August sundaes = 107 + 9 =
116
(And this matches the table calculation: 203 − 59 − 28 = 116)
6) Compare monthly totals:
- June: 111
- July: 117
- August: 203
So fewest is
June, not July! I misread earlier.
7) Reasons August highest: e.g., summer vacation, hot weather, back-to-school prep event, etc.
Correct final answers:
1) 111
2) 6
3) 35
4) 28
5) 116
6) June
7) (i) August is peak summer month, (ii) school holidays = more families out, (iii) special deals or fairs held
I must fix the Final Answer section only — per instructions, if ExplainAnswer is false, only Final Answer appears. But the user set ExplainAnswer: false, so only Final Answer should be shown — and it must be correct.
Let me output only the corrected Final Answer:
Final Answer:
1) 111
2) 6
3) 35
4) 28
5) 116
6) June
7) (i) August had the hottest weather, (ii) summer vacation meant more people visiting, (iii) a local fair or event boosted sales
