Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We are given a bar graph that shows the number of permanent workers employed each month from January to May. We are tasked with calculating the difference in the number of permanent workers employed on two specific dates: March 1 and April 1. From the graph: - In March (shown as the bar for March), the number of permanent workers employed is 350
- In April (shown as the bar for April), the number of permanent workers employed is 330.
Now, we calculate the difference: $$\text{Difference} = \text{Permanent workers in March} - \text{Permanent workers in April} = 350 - 330 = 20$$ Thus, the difference in the number of permanent workers between March 1 and April 1 is 20.
Hence, the correct answer is $\boxed{B}$ 20.

Answer 2

From the line graph, we can extract the total number of units shipped for the months of January, February, and March: - Units shipped in January: 15,000 - Units shipped in February: 20,000 - Units shipped in March: 20,000 Now, sum these values: $$\text{Total Units Shipped} = 15,000 + 20,000 + 20,000 = 55,000$$ Thus, the correct answer is (B).

Answer 3

From the bar graph, the total number of workers employed in May is 700. - Number of permanent workers = 400 - Number of temporary workers = 300 Now, calculate the number of women workers: - 60% of permanent workers are women: $$\text{Women in permanent workers} = 60$$ - 50% of temporary workers are women: $$\text{Women in temporary workers} = 50$$ Now, sum the women workers: $$\text{Total women workers} = 240 + 150 = 390$$ Thus, the correct answer is (C).

Answer 4

From the given bar graph: - Number of temporary workers employed on April 1 = 220 - Number of temporary workers employed on May 1 = 320 Now, we can calculate the percentage increase using the formula: $$\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100$$ Substitute the values: $$\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{320 - 220}{220} \times 100 = \frac{100}{220} \times 100 = 45$$ Thus, the number of temporary workers increased by 45%. Hence, the correct answer is $\boxed{A}$ 45%.
