Problem Analysis:

The task involves analyzing a scaled picture graph to answer questions about pie sales at a pie shop. Each pie icon represents 20 pies. We need to count the number of pie icons for each day and use this information to solve the given questions.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. Count the number of pies sold on Thursday:
- On Thursday, there are 4 pie icons.
- Since each icon represents 20 pies:
\[
4 \times 20 = 80 \text{ pies}
\]
- Answer: 80 pies

#### 2. Determine which day had the most pies sold and how many were sold:
- Monday: 3 icons → \(3 \times 20 = 60\) pies
- Tuesday: 4 icons → \(4 \times 20 = 80\) pies
- Wednesday: 2 icons → \(2 \times 20 = 40\) pies
- Thursday: 4 icons → \(4 \times 20 = 80\) pies
- Friday: 5 icons → \(5 \times 20 = 100\) pies
- Saturday: 6 icons → \(6 \times 20 = 120\) pies

- The day with the most pies sold is Saturday, with 120 pies.
- Answer: Saturday, 120 pies

#### 3. Calculate how many more pies were sold on Tuesday than Wednesday:
- Pies sold on Tuesday: 80 pies
- Pies sold on Wednesday: 40 pies
- Difference:
\[
80 - 40 = 40 \text{ pies}
\]
- Answer: 40 pies

#### 4. Determine if more pies were sold on the last two days (Friday and Saturday) than the first four days (Monday to Thursday):
- Pies sold from Monday to Thursday:
\[
60 + 80 + 40 + 80 = 260 \text{ pies}
\]
- Pies sold on Friday and Saturday:
\[
100 + 120 = 220 \text{ pies}
\]
- Comparing the totals:
\[
260 > 220
\]
- Therefore, the statement is false.
- Answer: False

#### 5. Calculate the total number of pies sold in the week:
- Sum the pies sold each day:
\[
60 + 80 + 40 + 80 + 100 + 120 = 480 \text{ pies}
\]
- Answer: 480 pies

#### 6. Draw a bar graph for the number of pies sold that week:
To draw the bar graph:
- Label the x-axis with the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
- Label the y-axis with the number of pies sold, starting from 0 and increasing in increments of 20 (or another suitable scale).
- For each day, draw a bar whose height corresponds to the number of pies sold:
- Monday: 60 pies
- Tuesday: 80 pies
- Wednesday: 40 pies
- Thursday: 80 pies
- Friday: 100 pies
- Saturday: 120 pies

Final Answers:

1. 80 pies
2. Saturday, 120 pies
3. 40 pies
4. False
5. 480 pies
6. Bar graph (description provided above)
