The correct option is B 69
Since 7 percent of the 562 juniors
is 0.07(562), and 5 percent of the 602 seniors is 0.05(602), the expression:
0.07(562)+0.05(602)=39.34+30.1=69.44, can be
evaluated to determine the total number of juniors and seniors inducted into
the honor society.
Hence 69 is the closest to the total number of juniors and seniors at Lincoln school last year who were inducted into the national honor society.
