Answer:
B) -4.1 units
Explanation:
According to this question, a state property X has a value 89.6 units. It undergoes the certain changes as follows:
- first increase by 3.6 units
- then increase by another 18.7 units
- then decrease by 12.2 units
- and finally attains a value of 85.5 units
This can be mathematically represented by 89.6 - {3.6 + 18.7 - 12.2 - x) = 85.5
To get x, we say;
89.6 + 3.6 = 93.2
93.2 + 18.7 = 111.9
111.9 - 12.2 = 99.7
99.7 - 85.5 = 14.2units.
The changes that occured is represented as follows:
= (3.6 + 18.7) - (12.2 + 14.2)
= 22.3 - 26.4
= -4.1 units
