Answer:

A - 220

B - 205

Explanation:

29% of 759 is 220.11, round down so it stays 220.

27% of 759 is 204.93 round up so it becomes 205.

bonus:

44% of 759 is 333.96 round up and it becomes 334.

to check your work, add 220, 205, and 334 and its 759. thats how you can be sure its correct.

hope this helps :)
