a)2,000
b)3,200
c)4,100
d)4,800
e)4,900
c
Team B:
Let the number of boxes = 10.
Let the booklets per box = 10.
Total booklets = 10*10 = 100.
Team A:
Since team A distributes 60% more boxes, the number of boxes = 1.6(10) = 16.
Since each box contains 60% fewer booklets, booklets per box = 10 - .6(10) = 4.
Total booklets = 16*4 = 64.
Total booklets for the two teams = 100+64 = 164.
The correct answer choice will be a multiple of 164 that ends in 0.
5*164 = 820.
5*820 = 4100.
The correct answer is
C.
