4 gaps → 200 1 gap → 200 ÷ 4 = 50

January → 450 February → 700 March → 650 April → 700 May → 600 June → 950

total from jan to june → 450 + 700 + 650 + 700 + 600 + 950 = 4050

" 4/9 of the total number of cakes were sold in 6 months from July to December."

total units → 9u july to dec → 4u jan to june → 9u - 4u = 5u

5u → 4050 1u → 4050 ÷ 5 = 810 9u → 9 x 810 = 7290
