Four types of baked goods were available at the school bake sale. The bar graph shows the number of each type of baked good for sale when it first opened.

Question

What is the difference between the greatest number of baked goods and the least number of baked goods?

A.
3 baked goods
B.
12 baked goods
C.
24 baked goods
D.
36 baked goods

Answer 1

To determine the difference between the greatest number of baked goods and the least number of baked goods, we need to analyze the bar graph mentioned in the problem. Since I can't see the graph, I'll guide you through the process:

1. Identify the greatest number of baked goods shown in the graph.
2. Identify the least number of baked goods shown in the graph.
3. Subtract the least number from the greatest number.

The formula to find the difference is:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Greatest Number} - \text{Least Number} \]

Based on the options provided (A. 3, B. 12, C. 24, D. 36), calculate the difference and match it with the options provided.

If you can provide the specific numbers or quantities shown in the bar graph, I can help you calculate the difference precisely.
