Responses
A twenty million

C twenty thousand
D two million
To find out how many more people lived in California than in Texas in the year 2013, we need to subtract the population of Texas from the population of California.
The population of California is 35 million (35/3535 x 35 million) and the population of Texas is 31 million (31/3535 x 35 million).
So, there are about 4 million more people living in California than in Texas in the year 2013.
Therefore, the correct response is D) two million.
