B. 90, 10, 6, 14

C. 20, 40, 4, 56

D. 96, 6, 10, 8

Answer 1

C.) 20, 40, 4, 56

Explanation:

Equation:

`(1s + 2d + 3t + 4hr)/(ab)`

`(1 * 20) + (2 * 40) + (3 * 4) + (4 * 56) = 336`

`336 / 400 = .84`

.84 as a percentage is 84.5%

84.5% is greater than .500 or 50%

Other answers:

A.) = 47.5%

B.) = 46%

D.) = 42.5%
