The table below shows the number of bicycles sold each month by a shop.

Month	Number of bicycles sold
January	53
February	150
March	124
April	76
May	99

Which of the following bar graphs best represents the information shown in the table?

1. Identify the highest and lowest values in the table to eliminate incorrect graphs.

From the table, the lowest number of bicycles sold is in January ($53$) and the highest is in February ($150$).

• Graph (1) shows March as the highest. (Incorrect)
• Graph (3) shows January as the highest. (Incorrect)

2. Compare the remaining graphs using relative proportions.

Comparing Graph (2) and Graph (4):
In Graph (2), the bar for January is taller than the bar for April. However, $53 < 76$, so January's bar must be shorter than April's bar. Thus, Graph (2) is incorrect.

In Graph (4), the heights are approximately proportional to the sales if $1$ grid unit represents $50$ bicycles:

• January: $53 \approx 1$ unit
• February: $150 = 3$ units
• March: $124 \approx 2.5$ units
• April: $76 \approx 1.5$ units
• May: $99 \approx 2$ units

Graph (4) correctly represents the data.
