The number of people applying for free financial aid has gone up in the past decade by 6.74%. if the number of people that used to apply was 9.72 million, then how many total people are applying in the recent year? (your answer should be a normal number, not in millions.)

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
