Answer: D: -2
explanation:
1. divide fractions inside brackets by multiplying by the reciprocal
1/4 • 4/7
= 4/28
2. multiply 4/28 by 7/5
= 28/140 which can be reduced to 1/5
3. multiply by -10
= 1/5 • -10
= -2
The main reason behind this is using properties of logarithm .

when solving
There you use multiplication property and make addition to multiplication then you get extraneous solution because in plenty of cases they occur

But
Same happens in case of logarithm
Assume that 100% = 45 sales and 35% = X sales amount
You can create a ratio to help you solve for x
45 = 100%
x = 35 %
Which is equal to this fraction: (45/x) = (100/35)
Solving for X by cross multiplying and dividing by 100:
[(45)(35)] / 100 = X = 15.75 = 16 sales (rounded up)
You would need at least 16 sales to increase sales total by 35%
nshs = sshs+5
wshs = nshh + 6 = sshs + 11
So nshs + wshs + sshs = 3*sshs + 16
So sshs = 10, nshs = 15 and wshs = 21
Answer 15.
