If y > x and he sold q more digital music players in April than in March, how much more money did he earn selling digital music players in April than in March?
A. \(\frac{p}{100} [ym-x(m+q)]\)
B. \(\frac{p}{100} [x(m+q)+ym]\)
C. \(p[y(m-q)-xm]\)
D. \(\frac{p}{100}[x(m+q)-ym]\)
E. \(\frac{p}{100}[y(m+q)-xm]\)
A. \(\frac{p}{100} [ym-x(m+q)]\)
B. \(\frac{p}{100} [x(m+q)+ym]\)
C. \(p[y(m-q)-xm]\)

since price is the same, but commissions are different, we check for the difference between total revenues earned in two months \(py(m+q)/100 - pxm/100 = p/100 * (ym + yq - xm)\). Answer is E
