a) 41.
b) 36.
c) 32.
d) 28.
e) 26.
solution:
in this sample question, after reading carefully the statement, we can
observe that we need to calculate the number of patents in luxembourg in
two years, 2016 and 2019.
the main issue here is that the number of patents is referred to the
population, and we only have the population for 2017, so we will have to
previously calculate the population figure for our target years.

at this moment, we can already obtain the result that we were looking for,
by simply multiplying the gdp by the industrial waste per unit of gdp:
54 400 million eur * 20 tonnes per million eur = 1 088 000 tonnes
in this manner, we get that the right answer is option b).
myadvice
it is convenient to remember, from our school years, that magnitudes and
units in which figures are shown can also be operated (multiplied, divided,
cleared…) in the same way as we do with their figures.
for example, in our exercise, we could express (more precisely) the
magnitude of industrial waste as: 20 tonnes/million eur. so in the final
arithmetic we would do:
54 400 million eur * 20 tonnes/million eur = 1 088 000 tonnes
this way you can see more clearly why the result is expressed in tonnes: we
have cleared the million eur (magnitude) in both the numerator of the first
item and the denominator of the second item.
54 400 million eur * 20 tonnes/million eur = 1 088 000 tonnes
i recommend practising this with magnitudes from your daily life, e.g.:
2 kg * 3 €/kg = 6 €, because kg * €/kg = €
