Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate total sales of M₂ from 2016 to 2019:
2016: 160 hundreds = 16000
2017: 170 hundreds = 17000
2018: 180 hundreds = 18000
2019: 190 hundreds = 19000
Total M₂ = 16000 + 17000 + 18000 + 19000 = 70000

Step 2: Calculate total sales of M₄ from 2016 to 2019:
2016: 200 hundreds = 20000
2017: 210 hundreds = 21000
2018: 220 hundreds = 22000
2019: 230 hundreds = 23000
Total M₄ = 20000 + 21000 + 22000 + 23000 = 86000

Step 3: Find the difference between total sales of M₄ and M₂:
Difference = 86000 - 70000 = 16000

Hence, the difference between the total number of sales of manufacturer M₂ and M₄ during 2016 to 2019 is 16000.
