Surprisingly though, in the past year the average number of meals per day served at Andrew\u2019s Eatery has actually increased significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following, if true, provides the best explanation for this occurrence?<\/p>\n<p>(A) The meals at Andrew\u2019s Eatery are substantially lower in price than those offered at Bob\u2019s Bistro.<br \/>\n(B) Bob\u2019s Bistro is closed on Sundays, and so for Sunday brunch residents of Montrose would either go to Andrew\u2019s Eatery or venture to a neighboring town.<br \/>\n(C) The profit per meal is higher, on average, at Bob\u2019s Bistro than it is at Andrew\u2019s Eatery.<br \/>\n(D) Bob\u2019s Bistro attracts a large number of patrons that had never dined in Montrose before, and on many days Bob\u2019s Bistro attracts more customers than it can seat.<br \/>\n(E) Andrew\u2019s Eatery serves considerably more meals on weekends than it does on weekdays, which is not the case at Bob\u2019s Bistro.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-bob-s-bistro-76313.html\">OA and Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (DS) Is the range of a non-empty set\u00a0 S bigger than its mean? 1.
