OG 3.1-6 A marketing firm determined that, of 200 households surveyed, 80 used neither Brand A nor Brand B soap, 60 used only Brand A soap, and for every households that used both brands of soap, 3 used only Brand B soap. How many of the 200 households surveyed used both brands of soap? the correct answer is 15 OG的解释是说 只使用Brand B 的人数 是 既使用使用Brand A 又使用Brand B的人数的 3 倍, 即 if x is the number of households that use both Brand A and B, then 3x use Brand B alone. 我觉得应该是文中 "for every households that used both brands of soap, 3 used only Brand B soap" 这句话表明了倍数关系, 但是我看解释之前,对这句话的理解是 所有既用A又用B的households, 有3个人只使用Brand B, 我不知道为什么这句话表达了倍数关系呢? 以下是引用sammy生米在2007-3-15 23:00:00的发言:for every households that used both brands of soap, 3 (households) used only Brand B soap 每一既用A又用B的家庭,就有3个只用B的家庭 但是还有个细节的问题想要了解一下, "for every households"中 为什么households要用复数形式呢? every 和households放在一起会不会有歧义啊? 我当初就是看到了households,以为是表示所有既用A又用B的家庭,而不是每一个家庭. 这里是不是用every household会更清楚一点啊? 还请麻烦一下啊
