The table below shows the numbers of four pastry box types sold by a bakery in March and in April.
If the selling price of each box type stayed the same from March to April, did the bakery earn more revenue from the sales of these four box types in April than in March?
(1) The Pistachio box was priced lower than each of the other three box types.
(2) The Classic box was priced higher than each of the other three box types.
| March | April | |
| Classic | 260 | 232 |
| Chocolate | 180 | 188 |
| Berry | 150 | 161 |
| Pistachio | 210 | 219 |

GMAT Club Official Solution:
The table below shows the numbers of four pastry box types sold by a bakery in March and in April.
If the selling price of each box type stayed the same from March to April, did the bakery earn more revenue from the sales of these four box types in April than in March?
Notice that the total number of boxes sold stayed the same:
March: 260 + 180 + 150 + 210 = 800
April: 232 + 188 + 161 + 219 = 800
So the only question is whether the shift in the mix of box types increased or decreased revenue.
From March to April:
Classic -28
Chocolate +8
Berry +11
Pistachio +9
So 28 fewer Classic boxes were sold, and those 28 sales were replaced by 28 sales of the other three box types combined.
(1) The Pistachio box was priced lower than each of the other three box types.
This is not enough.
For example, if the prices were Classic = 100, Chocolate = 2, Berry = 2, and Pistachio = 1, then the large drop in Classic sales would make April revenue lower than March revenue.
But if the prices were Classic = 2, Chocolate = 100, Berry = 2, and Pistachio = 1, then the increase in Chocolate sales alone would make April revenue higher than March revenue.
Not sufficient.
(2) The Classic box was priced higher than each of the other three box types.
Since the 28 lost Classic sales were replaced by 28 sales of cheaper box types, total revenue must have decreased. So the answer is NO. Sufficient.

I don’t think the answer can be determined here.
From the table:
- Classic decreased by 28
- Chocolate increased by 8
- Berry increased by 11
- Pistachio increased by 9
But revenue depends on both:
- quantity sold
- price per box
We do not know the actual prices.
---
Statement (1):
Pistachio is priced lower than all the other box types.
This is still not enough.
Classic could still be priced extremely high, so its decrease of 28 boxes could outweigh all the gains from the other categories.
So statement (1) is insufficient.
---
Statement (2):
Classic is priced higher than all the other box types.
Still insufficient.
If the price difference is small, April revenue could be higher.
If the price difference is huge, March revenue could still be higher.
So statement (2) alone is also insufficient.
---
Combining both statements:
Now we only know:
- Classic = highest priced
- Pistachio = lowest priced
But the exact prices are still unknown.
Different price combinations can still produce different answers.
So the revenue comparison cannot be determined.
Therefore:
Answer = E
