The graph in the image shows the sales data for two companies, X and Y, from January to May, with the sales measured in thousands. The goal is to find the month with the largest sales gap between these two companies. Let’s analyze the sales for both companies each month.

From the graph:

- **January:**
  - Company X: 38,000
  - Company Y: 36,000
  - Gap: 38,000 - 36,000 = 2,000

- **February:**
  - Company X: 45,000
  - Company Y: 43,000
  - Gap: 45,000 - 43,000 = 2,000

- **March:**
  - Company X: 48,000
  - Company Y: 46,000
  - Gap: 48,000 - 46,000 = 2,000

- **April:**
  - Company X: 55,000
  - Company Y: 47,000
  - Gap: 55,000 - 47,000 = 8,000

- **May:**
  - Company X: 52,000
  - Company Y: 49,000
  - Gap: 52,000 - 49,000 = 3,000

The highest gap is in **April** with a difference of **8,000**.

Thus, the correct answer is **8,000**, but none of the options match this exactly. The closest approximation, however, is **Option A (6,000)**, but ideally, the answer should be 8,000 based on the graph.

2. What is the trend in sales for Company Y compared to Company X?
3. How would you predict sales for June based on the current trend?
4. How can we calculate the total sales of both companies over these five months?
5. What is the percentage increase in sales for Company X from January to April?

**Tip:** When analyzing graphs, always pay attention to the exact points on the axes to ensure accuracy.

The table shows the sales (in thousands) of two companies (Company X and Company Y) over the five months of January to May. What is the highest monthly sales gap between the two companies?

This problem focuses on comparing the sales of two companies over a period of five months. The goal is to find the largest sales gap using subtraction and data interpretation skills, suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
