Question 11

Larry bought 6 more tickets than Jim.

Larry purchased 6 more tickets than Jim, which is reflected in the correct answer choice.

A) 3

This option is incorrect because it underestimates the difference in the number of tickets purchased by Larry compared to Jim. The data indicates that the actual difference is greater than 3.

B) 12

Choosing this option would imply that Larry bought 12 more tickets than Jim, which is not supported by the information given. The difference is significantly less than 12.

C) 6

This option correctly states that Larry bought 6 more tickets than Jim. This aligns with the provided data and accurately reflects the difference in their purchases.

D) 1

This option is incorrect as it suggests a minimal difference of only 1 ticket. The actual difference is much larger, confirming that this option does not represent the situation accurately.

Conclusion

The correct answer, C, is definitively right as it correctly quantifies the difference in ticket purchases between Larry and Jim as 6. All other options fail to represent the true difference, either underestimating or overestimating the number of tickets bought by Larry.
