Given:

The number of computers manufactured by company A during the period from 2010 to 2014:

240, 300, 1250, 470, 320 (in thousands)

The number of computers manufactured by company C during the period from 2010 to 2014:

270, 490, 430, 1180, 550 (in thousands)

Formula Used:

Difference = Total number of computers manufactured by A - Total number of computers manufactured by C

Calculation:

Total number of computers manufactured by company A:

240 + 300 + 1250 + 470 + 320

⇒ 240 + 300 = 540

⇒ 540 + 1250 = 1790

⇒ 1790 + 470 = 2260

⇒ 2260 + 320 = 2580 (in thousands)

Total number of computers manufactured by company C:

270 + 490 + 430 + 1180 + 550

⇒ 270 + 490 = 760

⇒ 760 + 430 = 1190

⇒ 1190 + 1180 = 2370

⇒ 2370 + 550 = 2920 (in thousands)

Difference =  2920 - 2580

⇒ 340

The difference between the number of computers manufactured by company A and C during the period from 2010 to 2014 is 340 thousand.
