Let’s solve this step by step.
First, remember:
Each pie icon = 20 pies
We’ll count the number of pie icons for each day and multiply by 20 to get actual pies sold.
---
Monday: 3 pies → 3 × 20 =
60 pies
Tuesday: 5 pies → 5 × 20 =
100 pies
Wednesday: 2 pies → 2 × 20 =
40 pies
Thursday: 4 pies → 4 × 20 =
80 pies
Friday: 6 pies → 6 × 20 =
120 pies
Saturday: 7 pies → 7 × 20 =
140 pies
---
Now let’s answer each question:
1) How many pies were sold on Thursday?
→ 4 icons × 20 =
80
2) Which day were the most pies sold?
→ Saturday has 7 icons → 140 pies →
Saturday
→ How many?
140
3) How many more pies were sold on Tuesday than Wednesday?
→ Tuesday: 100, Wednesday: 40
→ 100 - 40 =
60
4) There were more pies sold on the last two days than the first four days. True or false?
Last two days = Friday + Saturday = 120 + 140 =
260
First four days = Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday = 60 + 100 + 40 + 80 =
280
Is 260 > 280? No →
False
5) How many pies were sold in total that week?
Add all:
60 (Mon) + 100 (Tue) + 40 (Wed) + 80 (Thu) + 120 (Fri) + 140 (Sat)
= 60+100=160; 160+40=200; 200+80=280; 280+120=400; 400+140=
540
6) Draw a bar graph...
Since we can’t draw here, you would make bars for each day with heights matching the number of pies:
- Mon: 60
- Tue: 100
- Wed: 40
- Thu: 80
- Fri: 120
- Sat: 140
You’d label the x-axis with days, y-axis with number of pies, and draw bars accordingly.

Final Answer:
1) 80
2) Saturday, 140
3) 60
4) False
5) 540
6) [Bar graph drawn as described above]
