The question asks for the difference in auto sales between two periods: January to May 2014, and January to May 2013 for four manufacturers (A, B, C, D). The table provides the sales data for both years.

Here’s the step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Auto Sales in 2014
- Manufacturer A: 1,188,407
- Manufacturer B: 1,043,961
- Manufacturer C: 849,037
- Manufacturer D: 963,893

Total sales for 2014: 
\[
1,188,407 + 1,043,961 + 849,037 + 963,893 = 4,045,298
\]

### Step 2: Auto Sales in 2013
- Manufacturer A: 1,155,503
- Manufacturer B: 1,054,819
- Manufacturer C: 751,646
- Manufacturer D: 919,556

Total sales for 2013: 
\[
1,155,503 + 1,054,819 + 751,646 + 919,556 = 3,881,524
\]

### Step 3: Find the Difference
Now, subtract the total sales in 2013 from the total sales in 2014:
\[
4,045,298 - 3,881,524 = 163,774
\]

Thus, the answer is **B: 163,774**.

Here are 5 related questions to extend the concept:
1. How would the result change if Manufacturer C's sales had been higher in 2014?
2. What is the percentage increase in total sales from 2013 to 2014?
3. If Manufacturer A had a 5% increase in sales in 2015, how many cars did they sell?
4. How would you calculate the average sales per manufacturer in each year?
5. What if one of the manufacturers had a decrease in sales in 2014?

**Tip**: When comparing totals across different periods, always subtract to find the net difference, and you can check your work by double-checking each addition separately.

How many more auto sales did all four manufacturers have from January to May, 2014 than from January to May, 2013?
