Before noon on Tuesday, there was a certain number of hex nuts in a bin. After a delivery at noon that day, the number of hex nuts in the bin increased by 30%. Which of the following could be the number of hex nuts in the bin after that delivery?a. 5100
b. 5200
c. 5400
d. 5500
e. 5600

(B)5200

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the value was increased by 30%, the new value in the options is 130% of the initial Value.

Let x be the number of hex nuts in the bin before that delivery.

130% of x = New Value

1.3 of x = New Value

x= New Value ÷ 1.3

Since the number of hex nuts in the bin is a whole number, we test the options to see which satisfies this condition.

5200 is the only option which satisfies our stated condition.

95.03 is the answer. hope this !

126 maybe. sorry
