Whats the simplest way to solve this question?
Thanks
The chart indicates that the median base salary for 2000 -- 100,000 -- is 14% greater than the median base salary for 1999.
We can PLUG IN THE ANSWERS, which represent an approximation of the median base salary for 1999.
When 14% is added to the correct answer choice, the result must be approximately 100,000.
Since the median base salary for 1999 can be determined, eliminate E.
Since the median base salary for 1999 must be LESS than the base salary for 2000, eliminate D.
Answer choice
C: 87000
87000 + (14/100 * 87000) = 87000 + 12180 = 99180.
Since the other answer choices are SMALLER, they will yield a value less than 99,180 and FURTHER from 100,000.
The correct answer is
C.
