Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 2009, the cost of the basket was 2 × $40 + 15 × $3 = $90. In 2010, the cost of the basket increased to 2 × $45 + 15 × $4 = $105. However, in 2011, the cost of the basket decreased to 2 × $50 + 15 × $3 = $95. Therefore, the cost of the basket increased from 2009 to 2010 ($90 to $105) and decreased from 2010 to 2011 ($105 to $95). So, option B is the correct choice.
