How to interpret bar chart information

From the given bar chart

C) The total books checked out on Wednesday and Thursday.

Books checked out on Wednesday = 210

Books checked out on Thursday = 320

Total = 210 + 320

= 530 books.

D)Books checked out on Friday = 390

Total books checked out on Thursday and Friday = 320 + 390

= 710books

Books checked out on Monday = 250 books

Books checked out on Tuesday= 310 books

Total for the two days = 250 + 310

= 550 books

The difference = 710 - 550

= 160 books

160 books were checked out on Monday and Tuesday than on Thursday and Friday.
