The correct option is A Jimmy, 27
Lets us first convert the words to digits. Kimmy has two thousand three hundred and sixty nine candies. So there is 2 at the thousand's place, 3 at the hundred's place, 6 at the tens' place and 9 at the ones' place. So he has a total of 2369 candies.
Similarly, Jimmy has two thousand three hundred and ninety six candies. So there is 2 at the thousand's place, 3 at the hundred's place, 9 at the tens' place and 6 at the ones' place. So he has a total of 2396 candies.
The numbers look similar. However, the digits at the tens and the ones place are different.
Now we have to compare these two numbers - 2369 and 2396. Clearly, 96 > 69. Hence, 2396 > 2369. Therefore, Jimmy has a larger number of candies.
Let us now find the difference between these two numbers. 2396 - 2369 = 27. Thus, it can be concluded that Jimmy has 27 more candies than Kimmy.
