Baseball ticket prices location average price atlanta $14.42 new york $28.59 los angeles $19.67 the table shows the average baseball ticket price for three american cities. how much more expensive is it to buy a ticket in new york than in atlanta? a) $12.86 b) $14.17 c) $5.25 d) $8.92

I believe the answer would be B, $14.17
Gives some unneeded and unwanted information like the cost of a ticket in Los Angeles. But there are three important things. The cost of a ticket in New York and the cost of the ticket in Atlanta. What's the third? The question.
The question tells us to do this:
cost of ticket in NY - Cost of ticket in Atlanta
which is 
28.59 - 14.42
This equals 
14.17
Which is how much more a NY ticket costs than an Atlanta ticket.
Hope this helps.

Could you make it more clear?
