An analyst is recording the following financial transaction data with a vendor:

59.99, 49.50, 70.49

Which of the following data types is the best way to record this information?

Answer options

• A. Discrete
• B. Continuous
• C. Currency
• D. Numeric

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Currency, because the amounts represent monetary values which are best categorized as currency for accurate representation and calculations. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to types of numerical data that do not specifically address financial transactions, while D is too general and does not convey the specific context of these values being related to money.
