有题干可知,到1998年City X有电脑的为 40%A(1+30%)=52%A 户家庭;并且到1998年,City X有 (1+4%)A=104%A 户家庭。
由此可知,有电脑的家庭占总家庭数的比例为:52%A/104%A=50%
2. 总收入由TR表示,卖出报纸总数量由Q表示,卖出报纸A数量由A表示,卖出报纸B数量由B表示。
有题干可知,$1.00A+$1.25B=TR(即A+1.25B=TR),$1.00A=r%TR(即A=r%TR),A=p%Q;
由后两个等式可得出A=r%TR=p%Q,TR=(p/r)Q;由该商场只卖A&B可知B=(1-p%)Q;
代入等式A+1.25B=TR,可得p%Q+1.25*(1-p%)Q=(p/r)Q,即r=p/[p%+1.25*(1-p%)]=400p/(500-p)。
[该题应注意,由于题干一直在讲r percent & p percent,用等式表达时应注意表示成r% & p%~~]
谢谢!!!
