B17
C29
D35
Correct answer: (A) 0
Explanation

The difference is 0.

In school B in 2020 the difference 18 is 4 percent of the total, so the total is 450.

In school B in 2022 the difference 90 is 20 percent of the total, so the total is 450.

Both years give a total of 450 students.

The required difference is 450 minus 450.

This equals 0.
