Percentage and number. Must be true type of question.
This is a simple math. There are two groups: subscriber to the magazine who placed an order to the advertisement and customers placing orders to the advertisement. The first group is a subgroup of the second group. Thirty percent of the first group are under 35 while more than 50% of the second group are under 35. Therefore choice E must be true because there must be at least one person who placed the order and who is NOT a subscriber of the magazine.作者: zyj001 时间: 2012-2-16 23:36
