Answer 1

Answer:choice A, Choice C.

Step-by-step explanation: 70/%70%/MM

Answer 2

A.
`(170)/(100)m`

B.
`1.7m`

Explanation:

Given,

The average wait time at the hospital was m minutes,

And, after outbreak it is increased by 70 %,

Thus, the average wait time at the hospital after the outbreak = The average wait time before outbreak + 70 % of the average wait time before outbreak

`=m+(70m)/(100)`

`=(100m+70m)/(100)`

`=(170m)/(100)`

`=1.7m`

Hence, Option A and B are correct.
