Example 2 :

 

The pictogram above shows the number of tourist to an island resort from 1999 to 2004.

a)    Which year had the highest number of tourist?

Solution :

a)    Year 2004

b)    Find the total number of tourist for the two years which had the same number of tourist.

Solution :

b)    The two years were 2000 and 2002.

   Total number of tourists for 2000 and 2002

    = 2(10x2000)

    = 40 000

c)    What was the total number of tourists for the six years?

Solution :

c)    Total number of symbols

= 7+10+8+10+4+14

= 53
Total number of tourists = 53 x 2000

                                      = 106 000

d)    If each tourist spent an average of RM600 during their stay, calculate the total amount of money spent by tourist on the island in 2001.

Solution :

d)    Number of tourists in 2001 
      = 8 x 200  = 16 000

      Amount spent    = 16 000 x 600

           = RM 9 600 000
