Hi Mohamed,
On the graph, nonfiction sales are represented by the solid line, and fiction sales are represented by the dotted line.
In 1985, the nonfiction sales are slightly above 40,000, indicated on the graph by the small square directly above the label 1985 and sightly above the horizontal line labeled 40. Now, the fiction sales are slightly above 10,000, indicated on the graph by the small diamond directly above the label 1985 and sightly above the horizontal line labeled 10.
Hence, the nonfiction sales are about 30,000 greater than the fiction sales in 1985.

Shouldn't it be for how many years ? Instead of in ?

San, I think "in" and "for" are interchangeable in this case.
