A150 ✓ Correct

B450

C345

D865

Correct answer: (A) 150

Explanation

The answer is 150.

Overweight women in 2018 are 25 percent of 30000, which is 7500, and overweight children are 35 percent of 6000, which is 2100.

Their total is 7500 plus 2100, which is 9600.

Overweight men in 2018 are 30 percent of 31500, which is 9450.

The difference is 9600 minus 9450.

That is 150.

So the answer is 150.
