Option C is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

Clue 2 says that half of 22x, which is 11x and 2/3 of 33x, which is 22x, used one app, given that in 2024, out of
55x, 33x used one app.
Clues 3 and 4 are to be used with each other.
Clue 4 says that out of 15x kids, 10,000 used one app, and out of 20x Elders, 15,000 used multiple apps.
Clue 3 says that the kids who used multiple apps (15x - 10000) were the same as Elders who used one app (20x
- 15000)
Equating these two, we get:
15x- 10000 = 20x - 15000
5x = 5000
x = 1000
In 2023, there were 20,000 elders; in 2024, there were 33,000 elders.
The increase in percentage would be 65
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
