Answer:

A. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a total of 176 interviewed by Oliver and a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny. To find how many more 10th graders than 9th graders were interviewed, subtract the totals given

176 - 140 = 36

This is how we came to the answer:

We are given 70% of the 10th-grade and 30% of the 9th-grade with a total of 176 for Oliver.

While we're given 75% of the 9th-grade class and 25% of the 10th-grade with a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny

Oliver's Interviewees

10-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

70% of 176 =

Cross multiply

123.2 were 10-graders interviewed by Oliver

9th-graders

Now, to find the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

30% of 176 =

 

Cross multiply

52.8 were 9th-graders interviewed by Oliver

Jenny's Interviewees

9th-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

75% of 140 =

 

Cross multiply

105 students were 9th-graders interviewed by Jenney.

10th-graders

Now, to find the number of 10th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 10th-graders by the total;

25% of 140 =  

 

Cross multiply  

35 students were 10th-graders interviewed by Jenney.  

Total calculation

Use the results and sum them up by 9th-grade plus 9th-grade and 10th-grade plus 10-grade. Then subtract the amount gotten from 9th-grade away from the amount gotten from 10th-grade;

Oliver's 9th-grade = 52.8

Jenny's 9th-grade = 105

105 + 52.8 = 157.8

Oliver's 10th-grade = 123.2

Jenny's 10th-grade = 35

123.2 + 35 = 158.2

Total calculation: 158. 2 - 157.8 = 0.4

Therefore, there are 36 more 10th than 9th.
