A181
B940

D350
E240
Worked solution

Read both values, then subtract one from the other to get the gap — don't add them. The correct answer is 240. Traps to avoid: 181 comes from the "misread value" error; 940 comes from the "added not subtracted" error; 310 comes from the "misread value" error; 350 comes from the "read one value" error.
