Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, calculate the difference between demand and available seats for College A: 3000 - 1500 = 1500. Next, calculate the difference for College E: 3300 - 2200 = 1100. To find how much lower the difference for College E is compared to College A, subtract the two differences: 1500 - 1100 = 400. Finally, calculate the percentage: (400 / 1500) * 100 = 26.67%.
