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.

To find the difference between the total number of accounts opened by branch A and branch B across all the four months (January, February, March, and April), we need to calculate the sum of accounts for each branch individually and then find their positive difference.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of accounts opened by Branch A
From the table, the number of accounts opened by Branch A in each month is:
- January: 15
- February: 18
- March: 30
- April: 35
Total accounts opened by A = 15 + 18 + 30 + 35 = 98

Step 2: Calculate the total number of accounts opened by Branch B
From the table, the number of accounts opened by Branch B in each month is:
- January: 20
- February: 25
- March: 40
- April: 32
Total accounts opened by B = 20 + 25 + 40 + 32 = 117

Step 3: Find the difference between the two totals
Difference = Total for B - Total for A
$\mathrm{Difference}=117-98=19$

Therefore, the difference between the number of accounts opened by branch A and branch B in all the months is 19.
