Let's solve the problem step by step using the
pictograph provided in the image.
Understanding the Pictograph:
Each
pizza icon represents
5 pizzas.
We'll count the number of pizza icons for each day and multiply by 5 to get the actual number of pizzas sold.
---
Step 1: Count the pizza icons per day
| Day | Number of Pizza Icons | Pizzas Sold (×5) |
|-----------|------------------------|------------------|
| Monday | 3 icons | 3 × 5 = 15 |
| Tuesday | 6 icons | 6 × 5 = 30 |
| Wednesday | 4 icons | 4 × 5 = 20 |
| Thursday | 7 icons | 7 × 5 = 35 |
| Friday | 5 icons | 5 × 5 = 25 |
