A) 30%
B) 33%
C) 66%
D) 70%

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

To compare A to B, we divide A by B

To compare 1064 TV sets to 800 TV sets we divide 1064 by 800.

We do that and get that 1064 TV sets is 1.33 times as many 
as 800 TV sets.

We break 1.33 times into 1 times as many PLUS .33 times as many.

So that's 1 times as many PLUS 33% as many.

Answer: 33% more.
