Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Calculate the Average Monthly Profit 

From the graph, the monthly profits for six months are:

• April: 55
• May: 60
• June: 70
• July: 95

• September: 95

The average monthly profit is calculated as:

\[ \text{Average} = \frac{55 + 60 + 70 + 95 + 100 + 95}{6} \]

\[ = \frac{475}{6} \approx 79.17 \]

Step 2: Identify the Months with Profit Greater than the Average

From the graph, the months where the profit is greater than 79.17 are:

• July: 95
