Level 3 · Challenge
7 In a picture graph one symbol stands for 4 votes. Apples show 5 and a half symbols, bananas show 3. How many MORE votes did apples get?
Show worked solution
Apples: 5 × 4 + 2 = 22. Bananas: 3 × 4 = 12. Difference: 22 − 12 = 10 votes.
8 A column graph has 4 columns totalling 32. Three of them show 10, 6 and 9. What does the fourth show?
Show worked solution
10 + 6 + 9 = 25, so the fourth is 32 − 25 = 7.
9 A picture graph uses one symbol for 3 votes. A row shows 20 votes. Why can the row not be drawn in whole symbols? Give the number of whole symbols it would need before the part-symbol. (a number)
Show worked solution
20 ÷ 3 = 6 remainder 2, so 6 whole symbols and then part of a seventh for the last 2 votes.
