Passage
The following table shows the number of software development projects handled by two software companies A and B over five years from 2016 to 2020. Both companies handle Government Projects (GPs) and Non-Government Projects (NGPs). Company A handled 180, 230, 360, 250 and 300 projects in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. Company B handled 130, 320, 210, 190 and 350 projects in the same years respectively. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.
If L represents the total number of projects handled by Company A in 2018 and 2019 together, and M represents 20 percent of L as the number of GPs, then L minus M is
A454
B488 ✓ Correct
C478
D466
Correct answer: (B) 488 — L minus M is 488, so the answer is 488.
Explanation
★L minus M is 488, so the answer is 488.
★Company A handled 360 projects in 2018 and 250 in 2019.
★So L, the total for the two years, is 360 plus 250, which is 610.
★M is 20 percent of L, which is 610 times 20 over 100.
★So M is 122.
★L minus M is 610 minus 122.
★That equals 488.
