A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Given:
Quantity A: (5^27)(575)
Quantity B: (5^28)(115)

Divide both quantities by 115 to get:
Quantity A: (5^27)(5)
Quantity B: (5^28)

In other words:
Quantity A: (5^27)(5^1)
Quantity B: 5^28

Apply Product Law to Quantity A:
Quantity A: 5^28
Quantity B: 5^28
