Answer: 6,375

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is A.

In May, there were about 5,500 dollars in sales.

In June, there were 8,000 dollars in sales.

In July, there were about 2,500 dollars in sales.

In August, there were 6,000 dollars in sales.

To find the range, subtract the smallest amount from the largest amount.

$8,000 - $2,500 = $5,500

Therefore, the range is $5,500.
