Answer 1

Answer:

A (close examination)

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 2549 = 637.25 (Rounding this to nearest whole number)

2549 - 637 = 1912

1912 doesn't equal 1910 even though it is slightly off by a couple of dollars

A is correct

30% of 2549 = 764.7 (Round this to nearest whole number)

2549 - 765 = 1784

1784 doesn't equal 1910

B isn't correct

35% of 2549 = 892.15 (Round this to Whole Number)

2549 - 892 = 1657

1657 doesn't equal 1910

C isn't correct

2549 - 250 = 2299

2299 doesn't equal 1910

D isn't correct
