In 2019, the FFA membership reached 700,170 members in 8,612 chapters. Which statement best reflects this data?

• A. The organization had 700,170 members across 8,612 chapters.
• B. The organization had 600,000 members across 5,000 chapters.
• C. The organization had 800,000 members across 9,000 chapters.
• D. The organization had 650,000 members across 7,000 chapters.

Answer: (A)

Interpreting the data means matching both figures exactly as stated. The data say 700,170 members in 8,612 chapters, so the statement that reflects this is the one that says “700,170 members across 8,612 chapters.” That directly uses both numbers from the data. The other options mix different totals and different chapter counts, so they don’t align with what was reported.
