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.
