Question: 145
2. An actor has increased his Twitter following of 1,200 by 45%. How many followers does he now have?
- A. 2,400
- B. 2,000
- C. 1,820
- D. 1,740
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The answer is D
Multiply 1,200 by 0.45 and add the result to 1,200, for a total of 1,740.
A 45% increase is slightly less than an increase by half. An increase by half would add 600 followers for a total of 1,800. Thus, the answer must be a bit less than 1,800. Choice (D) is the only option.
