Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
a) $81235 - $15405 = $65830
b)
1) The graph uses cubes to represent the amount of sales.
2) I wonder if the amount of sales is proportional to the length of the side of the cube or to the volume of the cube.
c)
Using a ruler, the Year 1 cube has side length 5 units.
Using the same ruler, the Year 5 cube has side length 18 units.
The volume of the Year 5 cube is 5832 units³. The volume of the Year 1 cube is 125 units³.
The ratio of the volumes of Year 5 cube to the Year 1 cube is
5832/125 = 47:1
The ratio of sales of Year 5 to Year 1 is
81235/15405 = 5:1
The sales of Year 5 are approximately 5 times the sales of Year 1, tbut the cube of Year 5 has approximately 47 times the volume of the cube of Year 1. The graph is misleading because the volumes of the cubes are not proportional to the amounts of sales.
d) 47 times in volume
