    Answer: D

    Step-by-step explanation: Round the number 19.8 to 20, 9.8% to 10% and reduce 5.1% to 5%.

    (1) In 2014, 20 tons increased by 10%, multiply 20 by 1.10 - (10% increase).

    (2) In 2015, the quantity would need increase 20 (1.10) by 5%, multiply that quantity by 1.05.

    Then, your answer will be D: 20 (1.1) (1.05)
