The problem asks how many more new cars were sold in **Germany and the Netherlands altogether** than in the **United Kingdom and Slovenia altogether** in **2006**.

### Steps to solve:

1. **Find the car sales for 2006**:
   The table provides 2007 sales, along with the change from 2006. To get the 2006 values, we need to subtract or add the changes given:
   
   - **Germany**:  
     2007 sales = 3,148,000  
     Change = -9,200  
     So, 2006 sales = \( 3,148,000 + 9,200 = 3,157,200 \).
   
   - **Netherlands**:  
     2007 sales = 504,000  
     Change = +4,200  
     So, 2006 sales = \( 504,000 - 4,200 = 499,800 \).
   
   - **United Kingdom**:  
     2007 sales = 2,404,000  
     Change = -2,500  
     So, 2006 sales = \( 2,404,000 + 2,500 = 2,406,500 \).
   
   - **Slovenia**:  
     2007 sales = 66,000  
     Change = +12,100  
     So, 2006 sales = \( 66,000 - 12,100 = 53,900 \).
   
2. **Calculate the totals**:
   - **Germany + Netherlands** in 2006:  
     \( 3,157,200 + 499,800 = 3,657,000 \).
   
   - **United Kingdom + Slovenia** in 2006:  
     \( 2,406,500 + 53,900 = 2,460,400 \).

3. **Find the difference**:
   The difference in car sales between these two groups in 2006 is:  
   \( 3,657,000 - 2,460,400 = 1,196,600 \).

So, the answer is **1,196,600**, matching the fourth option.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

1. How would the difference change if car sales in the UK increased in 2007 instead of decreasing?
2. What if the change in Germany’s car sales had been positive? How would that impact the total for 2006?


Based on the above table, how many more new cars were sold in Germany and the Netherlands altogether than in the United Kingdom and Slovenia altogether in 2006?
