    The answer is 18%

    Explanation:

    Return on investment is defines as the revenue or profit that is earned by a business as a result of certain amount invested in a business or activity.

    It is calculated by dividing profit realised by the amount invested.

    The magazine subscription costs $45 a year, so for 3 years a subscriber pays 45*3 = $135

    However the amount he actually paid is $115 for the 3 years.

    Gain in this transaction = 135 - 115 = $20

    Return on investment = gain/amount invested

    Return on investment = 20/115

    Return on investment = 0.17391

    Return on investment = 17.391%

    This is closes to 18%

    B. 18%

    Explanation:

    Assuming another different subscriber decides to go for the $45 per year subscription cost then I'm three years would have paid ($45*3=$135).

    The rate of return on the investment for the subscriber that elects to pay the $115 now will be;

    $135-$115=$20,

    we find the percentage of the difference from $115.

    =20/115 x 100 = 17.4% nearest to 18%.
