Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A: Correct
June + August > July
12,832 + 8,465 > 20,005
21,297 > 20,005
B: Wrong
July = June + 8,173
20,005 = 12,832 + 8,173
20,005 ≠ 21005
C: Correct
July + August > May + June
20,005 + 8,465 > 9,325 + 12,832
28470 > 22157
D: Wrong
9,325 +12,832 +20,005 + 8,465 = 50627
E: Correct
May + June = 22,157
9,325 + 12,832 = 22,157
22,157 = 22,157
Part B: 2215
July - May + August = ?
20,005 - 9,325 + 8,465 = ?
20,005 - 17790 = 2215
I agree, the only 2 that look the most similar is B. and D.
