Guide 5 - word problems - chapter 3page 64 Q 15

Ahhhh!
sorry guys slight frustration as exam is in a week. heres my issue

Question 15 is style select greater quantity A or B
A calculates out to be 105 and B is given to 110. Yet the answer selected is A in the answer choices.
I was of the view that in such style you have only 4 choices A is greater, B is greater they are equal or we cannot compute.

Please tell me this was a typo.

I'm looking at the explanation, and it says the answer is (B), the correct one. Perhaps you have an older version of our books. If so, you should check the errata page on the website, because most of our errors are listed there. This one, however, has been corrected.

Hope your test went well!
