the last one (low prices made it more available for everyone)
Explanation:
The Civil Service Commission ended the spoils system by "(B) requiring anyone applying for a government job to take a competitive <span>exam," since this helped do away with much of the favoritism what had plagued government work in the past. </span>
So let's say tina weighs 110 pounds
She looses 3 on the first week so now she weighs 107
She gains back 1 pound on the 2nd week so now she weighs 108
there are 11 weeks left and she looses 2 pounds per week so you take 108-22 which will equal 86 pounds
Now you take her starting weight and subtract it by her weight at the end of 13 weeks
110-86= 24
Tina looses 24 pounds.
**I choose a random starting weight, you can choose any starting weight and still have the same answer.
