Let Easter eggs (E) and Easter bunnies (B) be 100 each
Then, ratio of Easter eggs to Easter bunnies = 1
Easter eggs (E) in 2010 = \(100(1.20)(0.83) = 99.6\)
\(\frac{E}{B}\) in 2010 = \((0.80)(1.22) = 0.976\)
\(B = \frac{E}{0.976} = \frac{99.6}{0.976} = 102.04\)
Therefore, % change = 2.04 increase
Hence, option B
