Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let x be the total number of cartons.

11.1% of x = 566 cartons

0.111x = 566

x = 566 / 0.111

x = 5099.099099...

Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives x ≈ 5099.10.

Therefore, the base (total number of cartons) is approximately 5099.10, which is choice D. Let x be the total number of cartons.

Then we have the equation:

566 = 0.111x

Dividing both sides by 0.111, we get:

x = 5100

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:

x ≈ 5,099.1

Therefore, the answer is D.
