💡 How to solve: Bar Graph Word Problems
First read the graph: slide your finger from the top of a bar to the scale to find its number. Then decide what the story asks. "In all" or "together" means add. "How many more" or "how many fewer" means subtract the smaller number from the bigger one. If a bar is missing, add the bars you can see and subtract from the total: 20 in all, and the other bars make 14, so the missing bar is 20 − 14 = 6.
