Question

one monday, oscar sold 25 cups of lemonade. on tuesday, he sold 5 more cups than he sold on monday. on wednesday and thursday, he sold 25 cups of lemonade. which graph shows the number of lemonade cups that oscar sold each day? a bar graph, b bar graph, c bar graph, d bar graph

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Monday's sales

Oscar sold 25 cups on Monday. So the bar for Monday should reach 25.

Step2: Analyze Tuesday's sales

Tuesday: 5 more than Monday, so \( 25 + 5 = 30 \) cups. The bar for Tuesday should reach 30.

Step3: Analyze Wednesday and Thursday's sales

Wednesday and Thursday: 25 cups each. Their bars should reach 25.
Now, check the graphs:

• Option A: Thursday's bar is too low. Eliminate.
• Option B: Monday (25), Tuesday (30), Wednesday (25), Thursday (25)? Wait, no, the heights: Wait, re - check. Wait, the correct graph should have Monday = 25, Tuesday = 30, Wednesday = 25, Thursday = 25. Looking at the options, Option C: Let's see, Monday ~25, Tuesday ~30, Wednesday ~25, Thursday ~25? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the key is: Monday:25, Tuesday:30, Wednesday:25, Thursday:25. So the graph with Monday at 25, Tuesday higher (30), Wednesday and Thursday same as Monday (25). So Option C? Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. Wait, the problem says "On Wednesday and Thursday, he sold 25 cups of lemonade". So Wednesday and Thursday bars should be equal to Monday's (25) or? Wait, Monday:25, Tuesday:25 + 5 = 30, Wednesday:25, Thursday:25. So the bar graph should have Monday:25, Tuesday:30, Wednesday:25, Thursday:25. Now, looking at the options, Option C has Monday ~25, Tuesday ~30, Wednesday ~25, Thursday ~25. Option B: Maybe Tuesday is 30, Wednesday and Thursday higher? No. Wait, the correct answer should be the graph where Monday is 25, Tuesday is 30, Wednesday and Thursday are 25. So among the options, Option C (assuming the bars: Monday:25, Tuesday:30, Wednesday:25, Thursday:25). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's check again. The steps:

1. Monday: 25 cups. So the bar for Monday is at 25.
2. Tuesday: 25 + 5 = 30 cups. So Tuesday's bar is at 30.
3. Wednesday: 25 cups. Bar at 25.
4. Thursday: 25 cups. Bar at 25.

Now, looking at the graphs:

• Option A: Thursday's bar is much lower than 25. Eliminate.
• Option B: Wednesday and Thursday bars are higher than 25. Eliminate.
• Option C: Monday:25, Tuesday:30, Wednesday:25, Thursday:25. This fits.
• Option D: Thursday's bar is lower than 25. Eliminate.

Answer:

C
