From the monthly sales data, which month had the highest revenue?

• A. January
• B. April
• C. March
• D. February

Answer: (B)

Finding the highest revenue means comparing the monthly totals and selecting the largest figure. Revenue is the total income from sales in a given month, so the month with the greatest revenue is when sales were strongest. To determine it, scan each month’s revenue value and note the maximum; that month is the answer. If two months share the same top value, you’d have a tie. In this data set, April has the largest revenue, so it is the month with the highest revenue. In practice, you can quickly identify this in a spreadsheet by using a max function to find the highest number and then a lookup to find the corresponding month or by sorting the data by revenue in descending order.
