Question

Refer to the graph representing the number of hybrid cars sold in January in the United States for the given years.

What is the difference between the January sales in 2008 and 2007?
The difference is _____ cars.

Answer 1

First, let's find how many hybrid cars are sold during those two years.

2007 = 17,300 hybrid cars were sold

2008 = 22,600 hybrid cars were sold

Find the difference by subtracting the cars in 2007 from 2008.

22,600(2008) - 17,300(2007)

= 5,300

The difference is 5,300 cars.
