Answer:

  (A) 342 ppm

  (B) 325 ppm

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that 5% of the current level is being removed in the month.

(A)

After 1 month, the pollution level is multiplied by 1-5% = 0.95:

  0.95 × 360 ppm = 342 ppm

__

(B)

After another month, the pollution level is again multiplied by 0.95:

  0.95 × 342 ppm ≈ 325 ppm
