Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

4. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

• A. 12
• B. 22
• C. 30
• D. 40

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.
