Official Solution:
We are looking for a pair of companies where one company's shipment volume (in kilotons) is exactly 1.6 times that of another. Since all shipment volumes are whole numbers, multiplying the smaller company's volume by 1.6 must also result in a whole number.
The only company whose shipment volume, when multiplied by 1.6, results in an integer is Company B, with 5 kilotons. 5 * 1.6 = 8 kilotons, which matches the volume of Company D. Therefore, Company D, with 8 kilotons, handled exactly 60% more shipments than Company B, with 5 kilotons.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "D"
Dropdown 2: "B"

Official Explanation:
The correct answer is Company D handled exactly 60% more shipments than Delivery Company B.
To solve this question, we need to find 2 numbers such that 1.6 * x = y, where x and y are both whole numbers.
When multiplied by 1.6, only muliples of 5 (e.g. 5,10,15, etc.) result in a while number.
Only Company B satisfies this criteria with x =5.
Therefore, y must be 1.6 * 5 = 8.
