A graph titled Wendy's Fundraiser is shown. The x−axis is marked, Hour. The units are marked in increments of 1. The y-axis is marked, Boxes of Cookies per Hour. The units are marked in increments of 2. The points on the graph are plotted as follows: 1 comma 2, 2 comma 6, 3 comma fourteen, 4 comma ten, 5 comma ten, and 6 comma 4.

x values: 1 = 10am   2 = 11am  3=12pm   4=1pm  etc
I'm assuming C to D is around   x values  3 and 4
which are 12pm-1pm  which is lunch time
and   number sold increased   (2,6) to (3,14)
therefore number of cookies sold increased, because it was lunch time
