C) 20+1.1+1.05
D) 20(1.1)(1.05)

Respuesta :

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: Round the number 19.8 to 20, 9.8% to 10% and reduce 5.1% to 5%.

(1) In 2014, 20 tons increased by 10%, multiply 20 by 1.10 - (10% increase).

(2) In 2015, the quantity would need increase 20 (1.10) by 5%, multiply that quantity by 1.05.

Then, your answer will be D: 20(1.1)(1.05)
