Let’s go through each question one by one, using the line plot. Remember: each “×” means 1 box sold on that day.
We’ll count the ×’s above each day number to find how many boxes were sold.
---
Day-by-day counts (from the plot):
- Day 1: 4 boxes
- Day 2: 3 boxes
- Day 3: 6 boxes
- Day 4: 4 boxes
- Day 5: 1 box
- Day 6: 9 boxes
- Day 7: 8 boxes
- Day 8: 6 boxes
- Day 9: 5 boxes
- Day 10: 5 boxes
*(Double-checking these counts from the image — yes, they match the ×’s shown.)*

Now let’s answer each question:
1) How many boxes did he sell on day 8?
→ Count ×’s above day 8 → 6 boxes.
2) Did he sell more boxes on day 7 or day 2?
→ Day 7 = 8 boxes, Day 2 = 3 boxes → More on
day 7.
3) Did he sell fewer boxes on day 9 or day 6?
→ Day 9 = 5, Day 6 = 9 → Fewer on
day 9.
4) How many days did he sell more than 3 boxes?
→ Look for days with >3 boxes:
Day 1 (4), Day 3 (6), Day 4 (4), Day 6 (9), Day 7 (8), Day 8 (6), Day 9 (5), Day 10 (5) → That’s
8 days.
*(Day 2=3 and Day 5=1 are NOT more than 3.)*
5) How many days did he sell fewer than 7 boxes?
→ Days with <7 boxes:
Day 1 (4), Day 2 (3), Day 4 (4), Day 5 (1), Day 9 (5), Day 10 (5) → That’s
6 days.
*(Day 3=6 is also less than 7! Wait — I missed it. Let me recount.)*
Actually:
Day 1 (4)
✔
Day 2 (3)
✔
Day 3 (6)
✔
Day 4 (4)
✔
Day 5 (1)
✔
Day 9 (5)
✔
Day 10 (5)
✔
That’s
7 days.
Days 6,7,8 have 9,8,6 — wait, day 8 is 6 which is also <7! Oh no — I made a mistake earlier.
Wait — let’s list all again carefully:
Boxes per day:
1:4 → <7
✔
2:3 → <7
✔
3:6 → <7
✔
4:4 → <7
✔
5:1 → <7
✔
6:9 →
✘
7:8 →
✘
8:6 → <7
✔
9:5 → <7
✔
10:5 → <7
✔
So days 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10 → that’s
8 days with fewer than 7 boxes.
I apologize — my first count was wrong. Correct count:
8 days.
But wait — let’s check day 8 again. In the plot, day 8 has 6 ×’s? Yes. So 6 < 7 → included.
So total: Days 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10 → 8 days.
Correction: Answer is 8 days.
6) What is the combined amount of boxes he sold on day 3 and on day 10?
→ Day 3: 6, Day 10: 5 → 6 + 5 =
11 boxes
7) He sold the greatest number of boxes on which day?
→ Highest count is 9 boxes → on
day 6
8) He sold the least amount of chocolate on which day?
→ Lowest count is 1 box → on
day 5
9) Which days (if any) did he sell more than 8 boxes?
→ More than 8 means 9 or more. Only day 6 has 9 →
day 6
10) What is the difference in the number of boxes he sold on day 7 and the number he sold on day 5?
→ Day 7: 8, Day 5: 1 → 8 - 1 =
7
11) Which day did he sell exactly 8 boxes?
→ Look for day with exactly 8 ×’s →
day 7

Final Answers:
1) 6
2) day 7
3) day 9
4) 8
5) 8
6) 11
7) day 6
8) day 5
9) day 6
10) 7
11) day 7
