Sir, Kindly help with this question please? The challenge is from the part in point (2) with the need to calculate co2 emission. My calculation goes like this 205-95 divided by 5=22%. However, from the examiner answer, the emission rate used was 22%+12%=34%. I am not sure where the 12% added comes from. Could youthrow more light on this please. Thank you ever so much for your time. QUESTION (ACCA Dec2015 exam) Samson and Delilah are a married couple. Samson was born on 24 June 1964 and Delilah was born on 6 May 1962.
