Question
Explain how you would determine how many more pages the winner of the contest read than the loser. * A. Add up the numbers shown by each bar on the graph. B. Look at the day they read the most pages (Wednesday) and find the difference in the amounts shown by each of those bars. C. Total all pages read by Javi by adding the numbers for each gray bar Monday Through Friday. Total all pages read for MeriAnne by adding the numbers for each black bar Monday through Friday. The student who read the most pages is the winner. Now add those 2 totals together to determine how many more pages were read. D. Total all pages read by Javi by adding the numbers for each gray bar Monday Through Friday. Total all pages read for MeriAnne by adding the numbers for each black bar Monday through Friday. The student who read the most pages is the winner. Now subtract the lower total number of pages from the higher total number of pages to determine how many more pages were read.

To determine how many more pages the winner of the contest read than the loser, the correct approach would be:
**D. Total all pages read by Javi by adding the numbers for each gray bar Monday through Friday. Total all pages read for MeriAnne by adding the numbers for each black bar Monday through Friday. The student who read the most pages is the winner. Now subtract the lower total number of pages from the higher total number of pages to determine how many more pages were read.**
This method is logical and ensures accuracy by calculating the total pages read for each contestant first. After identifying the winner (the one who read the most pages), subtracting the total of the loser from the total of the winner gives you the clear difference in pages read.
Option D is the best choice because it involves determining the actual totals for each participant and then calculating the difference, providing the most direct and accurate answer to the question.
