$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Month } & \text { Sales } & \text { Pounds } \\\hline \text { Tanuary } & 45 & 54.3 \\\hline \text { February } & 57 & 63.8 \\\hline \text { March } & 32 & 39.5 \\\hline \text { April } & 44 & 49.8 \\\hline \text { May } & 51 & 52.3 \\\hline \text { Tune } & 34 & 39.9 \\\hline\end{array}$$
