题目
Four friends win $120,000 in the lottery, and they divide the winnings in a 1:2:4:5 ratio.
Quantity A
Te diference between the greatest share and the least share
选项
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
已知奖金按照\(1:2:4:5\)的比例分配,设这四个比例对应的份额分别为\(x\)、\(2x\)、\(4x\)和\(5x\)。
根据奖金总额为\(120000\)美元,可列出方程:
\(x + 2x+4x + 5x=120000\)
\(12x = 120000\)
解得\(x = 10000\)
那么最大份额为\(5x = 5\times10000=50000\)美元,最小份额为\(x=10000\)美元,它们的差值为\(50000 - 10000=40000\)美元
所以数量\(A\)等于数量\(B\),答案为\(C\)。
