If a bar graph shows 5 red shirts and 9 blue shirts sold, which color sold more?

• A. Blue
• B. Red
• C. Green
• D. Yellow

Answer: (A)

Interpreting a bar graph by comparing quantities. The height of each bar shows how many items were sold. In this graph, the blue bar is taller than the red bar, representing 9 blue shirts sold versus 5 red shirts. A taller bar means more sold, so blue sold more. The graph doesn't provide data for green or yellow, so they aren’t options here. The color that sold more is blue.
