Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. How many pizzas did he sell on Thursday?
- On Thursday, there are 6 pizza icons.
- Since each icon represents 5 pizzas, the total number of pizzas sold on Thursday is:
\[
6 \times 5 = 30 \text{ pizzas}
\]

#### 2. Which day did he sell the fewest pizzas?
- Count the number of pizza icons for each day:
- Monday: 6 icons
- Tuesday: 7 icons
- Wednesday: 5 icons
- Thursday: 6 icons
- Friday: 4 icons
- The fewest icons are on Friday (4 icons).
- Therefore, the fewest pizzas were sold on Friday.

#### 3. Which day did he sell the most pizzas?
- Count the number of pizza icons for each day:
- Monday: 6 icons
- Tuesday: 7 icons
- Wednesday: 5 icons
- Thursday: 6 icons
- Friday: 4 icons
- The most icons are on Tuesday (7 icons).
- Therefore, the most pizzas were sold on Tuesday.

#### 4. Which day did he sell 25 pizzas?
- To find the day when 25 pizzas were sold, we need to determine how many icons represent 25 pizzas:
\[
\frac{25}{5} = 5 \text{ icons}
\]
- From the chart, Wednesday has exactly 5 icons.
- Therefore, he sold 25 pizzas on Wednesday.

#### 5. How many pizzas did he sell on Monday and Wednesday?
- On Monday, there are 6 icons:
\[
6 \times 5 = 30 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- On Wednesday, there are 5 icons:
\[
5 \times 5 = 25 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- Total pizzas sold on Monday and Wednesday:
\[
30 + 25 = 55 \text{ pizzas}
\]

#### 6. Were more pizzas sold on Monday or Friday?
- On Monday, there are 6 icons:
\[
6 \times 5 = 30 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- On Friday, there are 4 icons:
\[
4 \times 5 = 20 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- Comparing the totals:
\[
30 > 20
\]
- Therefore, more pizzas were sold on Monday.

#### 7. How many fewer pizzas were sold on Friday than Thursday?
- On Thursday, there are 6 icons:
\[
6 \times 5 = 30 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- On Friday, there are 4 icons:
\[
4 \times 5 = 20 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- Difference in the number of pizzas sold:
\[
30 - 20 = 10 \text{ pizzas}
\]
- Therefore, 10 fewer pizzas were sold on Friday than on Thursday.

#### 8. How many pizzas did he sell in five days?
- Calculate the total number of icons for all five days:
\[
\text{Monday: } 6 \quad \text{Tuesday: } 7 \quad \text{Wednesday: } 5 \quad \text{Thursday: } 6 \quad \text{Friday: } 4
\]
\[
\text{Total icons: } 6 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 28
\]
- Since each icon represents 5 pizzas, the total number of pizzas sold is:
\[
28 \times 5 = 140 \text{ pizzas}
\]
