Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the adjusted winner procedure, Amber wins 2 out of the 3 items - the microwave and the dishes. We don't know the exact number of dishes, but we know that it's more than half since Amber's bid was higher. So, the percentage of dishes transferred to Amber is at least 50%, but it could be more since we don't know the exact numbers.

Option A and B are too low and don't take into account that Amber won multiple items. Option D is too high and assumes that Amber won all the dishes, which we don't know for sure.
