Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To find the difference, first calculate the total employees in offices C and D on Tuesday.
According to the data table, Office C has 164 employees and Office D has 189 employees.
Adding these together gives a total of 353 employees (164 + 189 = 353). Next, determine the total employees in offices A and E on Thursday.
The table shows Office A has 89 employees and Office E has 113 employees, summing to 202 (89 + 113 = 202).
Finally, subtract the Thursday total from the Tuesday total to find the difference: 353 - 202 = 151.
This matches Option C exactly. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they result from calculation errors or misreading the specific days and offices listed in the question.
