The pictograph above shows the number of apples of several varieties sold at a supermarket on a particular day. How many more red delicious apples were sold than Jonathan apples at the supermarket on that day? Each full apple represents 20 apples. Each half apple represents 10 apples.

Rationale

90 more red delicious apples were sold than Jonathan apples at the supermarket on that day.

By interpreting the pictograph, it can be determined that the count of red delicious apples sold is 110 (represented by 5.5 apples) and Jonathan apples sold amounts to 20 (represented by 1 apple). The difference between these two quantities is 90 apples.

A (11) YOUR ANSWER

This option suggests a very small difference that does not reflect the actual figures represented in the pictograph. Given that red delicious apples sold were significantly higher than Jonathan apples, a difference of only 11 is not plausible based on the data provided.

B (90) CORRECT

This is the correct calculation based on the pictograph: red delicious apples sold (110) minus Jonathan apples sold (20) results in a difference of 90. This accurately represents the additional number of red delicious apples sold at the supermarket that day.

C (230) YOUR ANSWER

A difference of 230 apples would imply an exaggerated disparity between the two varieties. The provided counts from the pictograph do not support such a large difference, making this option incorrect.

D (280) YOUR ANSWER

Similar to choice C, a difference of 280 apples is not supported by the pictograph. The actual counts indicate a significantly lower difference between the two types of apples sold, making this choice clearly incorrect.

E (520) YOUR ANSWER

This option reflects an unrealistic difference far exceeding the total number of apples sold as indicated in the pictograph. The calculated difference of 90 apples should lead one to dismiss this choice immediately.

Conclusion

The analysis of the pictograph reveals that red delicious apples significantly outnumber Jonathan apples sold, with a difference of 90 apples. This calculation underscores the importance of accurately interpreting visual data representations. Understanding such comparisons can aid in better inventory management and sales strategies in a supermarket context.
