ANSWER CHOICES:

A: 22,140
B: 26,568
C: 265,680
D: 318,816

Answer 1

B. 26568

Explanation:

As per table, white golf balls sold at an increasing rate of:

• 224 640 - 204 120= 245 160 - 224 640 = 20520 per year

Expected white golf ball to be sold in the year 4:

• 245160 + 20520 = 265680

Expected yellow golf ball to be sold:

• 265680/5= 53136

Expected total golf balls to be sold in the year 4:

• 265680 + 53136= 318816

Expected total boxes of golf balls:

• 318816/12= 26568

Correct answer choice:

• B. 26568
