This is a question from the integrated reasoning section..
The table below gives information on the total inventory in 2010 and the total items sold by an international furniture manufacturer over a 3-year period, from 2008 through 2010. The 19 furniture items were included in the table because they fall among the top 25 items produced by the company in terms of both total inventory and total items sold. In addition to listing the total inventory and total number sold for each furniture type, the table also gives the percent increase or decrease over the 2009 inventory and 2005-2007 sales numbers and the rank of each furniture type for total inventory and total items sold.

Exactly 50% of the furniture items that experienced a decrease in both total inventory and total items sold are red mahogany.
A) True
B) False
OA: True
Why is the answer true? I noted that 6 items experienced decreases in both inventory and items sold and 3 of them were red mahogany.
Thank you!
