Atlanta and Los Angeles have two of the top ten busiest airports in the world. In 2011, Atlanta had approximately 92.365 million passengers flying through its airport. If Los Angeles had 30.517 million fewer passengers, how many passengers did Los Angeles have?

Question

61.848 million
89.313 million
99.314 million
122.882 million

Answer 1

To find the number of passengers that Los Angeles had, we start with the number of passengers at Atlanta and subtract the difference.

Number of passengers at Atlanta: 92.365 million
Difference in passengers (Los Angeles has 30.517 million fewer): 30.517 million

Now, we calculate the passengers at Los Angeles:

92.365 million - 30.517 million = 61.848 million

Thus, Los Angeles had 61.848 million passengers.
