Question

The bar graph shows the number of traffic accidents in a country from year $2000$ to $2014$ . What is the difference between accidents in the year $2001$ and $2004$.

• A. $60,000$
• B. $40,000$
• C. $20,000$
• D. $45,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $40,000$

The letter $k$ is used to denote $1000$

Therefore, Number of traffic accidents in the year $2001$ $=260k$

$=260\times 1000$

$=260,000$

Number of traffic accidents in year $2004$ $=220k$

$=220\times 1000$

$=220,000$.

Then, the difference $=260,000-220,000$

$=40,000$

Therefore, option $B$ is correct.
