A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


No need to actually calculate 43% of 207.
Instead, recognize that 43% of 200 = 86
So, 43% of 207 will be greater than 86

So, we get:
QUANTITY A: some number greater than 86
QUANTITY B: 85

Answer: A
