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<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/when-bob-s-bistro-opened-in-the-town-of-montrose-last-year-76313.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color:#fff;color:#fff\">- D -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (DS) Is the range of a non-empty set S bigger than its mean? 1.
