The table gives information on the total inventory in 2015 and the tot

Official Explanation

Among the items that experienced an increase in total inventory, five also experienced an increase in total items sold. None of these five items are green.

The pottery type experiencing the greatest percentage increase in total inventory from 2014 to 2015 was the black stoneware mug. The pottery types that experienced the lowest percentage increase in the total number of items made were the black earthenware bowl and the red earthenware mug.

The pottery type with the lowest rank based on total inventory is the white earthenware bowl, at rank #19. The pottery type with the lowest rank based on total items made was the white kaolin vase.

In 2015, the total inventory of white kaolin vases was 24,444. This represented a 7.1% increase over the total inventory for 2014. To find the total white kaolin vase inventory for 2014, let x represent the missing value. Set up an equation: \(x+0.71x=24,444\). Then solve for x:

\(x+0.71x=24,444\)

\(1x+0.71x=24,444\)

\(1.071x+0.71x=24,444\)

\(\frac{1.071x}{1.071} = \frac{24,444}{1.071}\)

\(x ≈ 22,824\)

Answer: False, False, False and True.
