Direction (36-40): Read the information carefully and answer the following questions
The table given below shows the number of accounts opened by four different branches (A, B, C and D) in four different months.
| Months/Branches | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 15 | 20 | 22 | 25 |
| February | 18 | 25 | 12 | 24 |
| March | 30 | 40 | 42 | 45 |
| April | 35 | 32 | 40 | 16 |
Find the difference between the number of accounts opened by A and the B in all the months.
Correct Answer :
19
Solution :
To find the difference between the number of accounts opened by branch A and branch B in all the months combined, we need to calculate the total number of accounts opened by each of these two branches across the four months and then subtract the smaller total from the larger total.
Let's first calculate the total number of accounts opened by branch A:
Branch A in January = 15
Branch A in February = 18
Branch A in March = 30
Branch A in April = 35
Total accounts opened by branch A = 15 + 18 + 30 + 35 = 98
Now, let's calculate the total number of accounts opened by branch B:
Branch B in January = 20
Branch B in February = 25
Branch B in March = 40
Branch B in April = 32
Total accounts opened by branch B = 20 + 25 + 40 + 32 = 117
Finally, we find the difference between the two totals:
Difference = Total accounts of branch B - Total accounts of branch A
Difference = 117 - 98 = 19
Therefore, the difference between the number of accounts opened by branch A and branch B in all the months is 19.
