Strategic Advice: Always read carefully to ensure that you know all the facts, and verify that you are using the correct data from a table.
Getting to the Answer: Six flights of 170 passengers each is 1,020 passengers per day. Airline C collects $340.20 from each passenger for this flighs, which equals $347,004 in revenue. Airline E's flights are only 90% full, which means they have `0.9times1,020=918` passengers. Each one pays 3380.19, so Airline E generates $349,014.42 in revenue. The difference between these two amounts is $2,010.42,which makes (B) the correct answer.
