GinnyAnswer
Let's examine the table data and find out how many more students bring lunch compared to those who ride the bus.

1. Identify Total Number of Students Who Bring Lunch:

According to the table, the total number of students who bring lunch (found in the column labeled "Bring Lunch") is 95.

2. Identify Total Number of Students Who Ride the Bus:

Similarly, the table indicates that the total number of students who ride the bus (found in the row labeled "Ride Bus") is 75.

3. Calculate the Difference:

We need to determine the difference between the number of students who bring lunch and the number of students who ride the bus. Therefore, we subtract the total number of students who ride the bus from the total number of students who bring lunch:

[tex]\[ \text{Number of students who bring lunch} - \text{Number of students who ride the bus} = 95 - 75 \][/tex]

4. Determine the Result:

Performing the subtraction gives us:

[tex]\[ 95 - 75 = 20 \][/tex]

Therefore, the number of students who bring lunch is 20 more than the number of students who ride the bus.

The correct option is: 20
