Actually C is incorrect. Did you turn the percentages into decimals. If not you can use googles calculator and turn the percentages into decimals and multiply each of them by 146.

0.27 * 146 = 39. :P

Regardless of that, I concluded  that the answer was D. :P

Yup :)

Hold up Lele, .27 is the percent, you'd need it as a decimal in order to multiply it to 146. so .27% as a decimal would be .0027, if you were to multiply that by 146 you'd get .3942.

Aye, I just realized that. *FaceDesk* I am one of those people who makes that one simple mistake, that destroys the entire thing.

No you're not, although many people think that about themselves. It's just that math is a difficult subject, and sadly it doesn't get any easier.
