Anjali: Fruit ChaatDaysTotal Fruit ChaatsDay 1Day 2Day 3
Rohan: SandwichesDaysTotal SandwichesDay 1Day 2Day 3
Anjali’s and Rohan’s pictographs. One picture stands for one fruit chaat or one sandwich.

Count the pictures for each day, then add the three days.

Fruit chaats: Day 1 = 7, Day 2 = 12, Day 3 = 9
7 + 12 = 19,   19 + 9 = 28
Sandwiches: Day 1 = 12, Day 2 = 16, Day 3 = 18
12 + 16 = 28,   28 + 18 = 46

The completed table:

Fruit Chaats28
Sandwiches46
Total74
Why it happens: In this pictograph one picture stands for one item. So counting the pictures is the same as counting the items.
Tip: Day 2 and Day 3 are drawn in two lines. Count the top line, count the bottom line, then add — do not stop at one line.
Q2.

Rohan: SandwichesDaysTotal SandwichesDay 1Day 2Day 3
Anjali’s and Rohan’s pictographs. One picture stands for one fruit chaat or one sandwich.

Count Rohan’s sandwich pictures day by day.

Day 1: 6 + 6 = 12
Day 2: 8 + 8 = 16
Day 3: 9 + 9 = 18

The most sandwiches were sold on Day 3 — 18 sandwiches.

Why it happens: Day 3 has the longest rows of sandwich pictures, and 18 is bigger than 16 and 12.
Q3.
Which item had the highest sale on Day 2?

Rohan: SandwichesDaysTotal SandwichesDay 1Day 2Day 3
Anjali’s and Rohan’s pictographs. One picture stands for one fruit chaat or one sandwich.

Look only at the Day 2 row of both pictographs.

Fruit chaats on Day 2 = 6 + 6 = 12
Sandwiches on Day 2 = 8 + 8 = 16
16 > 12

Sandwiches had the highest sale on Day 2.

16 − 12 = 4 more sandwiches than fruit chaats
Why it happens: Both pictographs use one picture for one item, so the two rows can be compared directly.
Q4.
Complete the table given below. Circle the day that had the highest sales.

Rohan: SandwichesDaysTotal SandwichesDay 1Day 2Day 3
Anjali’s and Rohan’s pictographs. One picture stands for one fruit chaat or one sandwich.

Total sales for a day means fruit chaats and sandwiches together on that day.

Day 1: 7 + 12 = 19
Day 2: 12 + 16 = 28
Day 3: 9 + 18 = 27

The completed table, with the highest day circled:

DayTotal Sales
Day 119
Day 228 ← circle this day
Day 327
Total74
28 > 27 > 19, so circle Day 2
Why it happens: Day 3 sold the most sandwiches, but Day 2 sold many more fruit chaats. Adding both items changes which day comes first.
Check it yourself: 19 + 28 + 27 = 74, and 28 + 46 = 74. The two tables must give the same grand total.
