Question

The bar graph in the following graphic represents fictional net exports in billions of dollars for five countries. Net exports are obtained by subtracting total imports from total exports; a negative net export means the country imported more goods than it exported.

Net Exports (Billions of dollars) United States Denmark China Germany Spain -150 -100 150 -50 050 100 Net Exports (Billions of dollars)

Explanation:

Then your answer is

A. China's exports exceed imports by 120 billion dollars

Answer 2

$80 billion

Explanation:

From the graph, we have the following:

`United\ States = -110`

`Denmark = -30`

`China = 120`

`Germany = 40`

`Spain = 30`

Required

Determine the difference in US and Denmark exports

The difference is calculated as thus:

`Difference = Denmark - United\ States`

This gives:

`Difference = -30 - (-110)`

`Difference = -30 +110`

`Difference = 80`

Hence, the difference is $80 billion
