Choices C. and D.

Reason:
A. 150 • 5 = 750 750/100 = 7.5
150 + 7.5 = 157.5
157.5 > 154.50, so 154.50’s fee is less than 5%.

B. 40 • 5 = 200 200/100 = 2
40 + 2 = 42
42 > 41.60, so 41.60’s fee is less than 5%.

C. 120 • 5 = 600 600/100 = 6
120 + 6 = 126
126 < 133, so 133’s fee is more than 5%.

D. 220 • 5 = 1100 1100/100 = 11
220 + 11 = 231
231 < 237.60, so 237.60’s fee is more than 5%.

E. 410 • 5 = 2050 2050/100 = 20.50
410 + 20.50 = 430.50
430.50 > 418.20, so 418.20’s fee is less than 5%
