Let the total newspaper sold be 100. Newspaper A sold = p Newspaper B sold = 100-p Total revenue = p*1+(100-p)*1.25 So revenue from paper A = p*1 = p Revenue percentage from paper A = (p/(p+(100-p)*1.25))*100 This is equal to r thus (p/(p+(100-p)*1.25))*100 = r => r = 100p/(125-0.25p) r = 400p/(500-p) Hence the answer. -- by 会员 Avengeryzc (2011/5/23 2:17:43)
