    Okay. To find the amount of residents per square mile, divide the number of residents by square miles. When you do it right, you should get this.

    Town A: 350 residents

    Town B: 500 residents

    By looking at the numbers, we can go ahead and eliminate A and C, because Town A has less residents, not more. Looking at the numbers and doing mental math, we see that Town B has more residents per square mile and when you subtract 500 and 350, you get 150. Town B has 150 more residents per square mile than Town A. The answer is B.
