Answer 1

Answer: C. 41,000

Explanation:

Step 1. Find the difference between Bobby’s score and Alex’s score. To do that subtract Alex’s score from Bobby’s score.

139,750-99,190= 40,560.

Step 2. Now all we got to do is round it up to the nearest thousand. From looking at the multiple choices here the closest number to a thousand would be C.41,000.
