Quantity A is the greatest number of consecutive nonnegative integers whose sum is less than 22, so start adding the numbers with the least value. However, Quantity A contains an important clue with the word nonnegative. This means that the number 0 could be a value. Start with 0 and add until the sum is the greatest it could be without exceeding 22. So 0 + 1 + 2 = 3; 3 + 3 = 6; 6 + 4 = 10; 10 + 5 = 15; and 15 + 6 = 21. Therefore, the consecutive nonnegative integers whose sum is less than 22 are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. That is 7 values. Quantity A is greater than Quantity B, and the correct answer is (A).
