Let's solve each question step by step based on the bar graph titled
"Dozens of Pets Sold each Month."
---
Understanding the Graph:
- The
y-axis shows "Dozens of Pets Sold" from 0 to 9.
- Each unit represents
1 dozen = 12 pets.
- The
x-axis shows months from January to July.
We'll read the height of each bar to determine how many dozens were sold each month:
| Month | Dozens Sold |
|----------|-------------|
| January | 6 |
| February | 5 |
| March | 1 |
| April | 7 |
| May | 2 |
| June | 8 |
| July | 3 |
Now, let's answer the questions.

1. How many pets were sold in July and April combined?
- April: 7 dozens → $ 7 \times 12 = 84 $ pets
- July: 3 dozens → $ 3 \times 12 = 36 $ pets
Total = $ 84 + 36 = 120 $ pets
✔ Answer: 120 pets

2. How many more pets were sold in June than in March?
- June: 8 dozens → $ 8 \times 12 = 96 $ pets
- March: 1 dozen → $ 1 \times 12 = 12 $ pets
Difference = $ 96 - 12 = 84 $ pets
✔ Answer: 84 more pets

3. How many pets were sold in March, January, and June?
- March: 1 dozen → $ 1 \times 12 = 12 $
- January: 6 dozens → $ 6 \times 12 = 72 $
- June: 8 dozens → $ 8 \times 12 = 96 $
Total = $ 12 + 72 + 96 = 180 $ pets
✔ Answer: 180 pets

4. In August, twice the number of pets were sold than in May. How many pets were sold in August?
- May: 2 dozens → $ 2 \times 12 = 24 $ pets
- August: Twice that → $ 2 \times 24 = 48 $ pets
✔ Answer: 48 pets
---
5. Were more pets sold in January or in April?
- January: 6 dozens → $ 6 \times 12 = 72 $ pets
- April: 7 dozens → $ 7 \times 12 = 84 $ pets
Since $ 84 > 72 $,
April had more sales.
