Answer:

  • A. $5500

Explanation:

The difference of years:

  • 2005 - 1999 = 6

The difference in profit over 6 years:

  • 206000 - 173000 = 33000

Average rate of change:

  • 33000/6 = 5500

It has been 6 years,

The main difference in profit over 6 years between 1999 and 2005 is,

→ 206000 - 173000

→ 33000

Then the average rate of change is,

→ 33000/6

→ 5500

Hence, $ 5500 is the correct option.
