During the first month of sales, a company sold 1,300,000 units of a certain type of smartphone. During the same month, 15% of the units sold were returned. If sales and the return rate remain the same for each of the next 5 months, about how many units of this smartphone will be returned to the company during this 6-month period?
ExplanationShow
Choice C is correct. Of the 1,300,000 units sold during the first month, 15% were returned, so 
units were returned during the first month. If the units were sold and returned at the same rate for the next 5 months, then a total of 
smartphone units were returned during the 6-month period.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the number of units that were returned in 1 month. Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of units that were returned in 5 months. Choice D is incorrect. This is the number of units sold and not returned during the first 6 months.
