Among all the pebbles in a bag, 17% were blue pebbles, 18% were green pebbles, and 31% were red pebbles. The number of green pebbles was increased by 20% and resulted in 216 green pebbles. The count of red pebbles and the count of blue pebbles were also increased by the same number as the increase in the count of green pebbles. To the nearest 0.1%, by what percentage did the combined count of blue, green, and red pebbles increase?

解析

在一袋石子中,17%是蓝色石子,18%是绿色石子,31%是红色石子。绿色石子的数量增加了20%后变为216颗。红色石子和蓝色石子增加的数量与绿色石子增加的数量相同。蓝色、绿色和红色石子的总数量增加的百分比最接近0.1%是多少? 已知绿色石子增加20%后变为216颗,设原来绿色石子数量为\(x\),则可列出方程\(x(1 + 20\%)=216\),即\(1.2x = 216\),解得\(x=180\) 因为绿色石子增加了\(216 - 180=36\)颗,所以红色石子和蓝色石子也各增加\(36\)颗 原来绿色石子占\(18\%\),其数量为\(180\)颗,所以原来三种石子(蓝色、绿色和红色)的总数为\(\frac{180}{0.18}=1000\)颗 原来三种石子的总数为\(1000\)颗,增加后蓝色石子数量为\(1000\times0.17 + 36=170+36 = 206\)颗 增加后红色石子数量为\(1000\times0.31+36 = 310+36=346\)颗 增加后绿色石子数量为\(216\)颗 增加后三种石子的总数为\(206+346+216 = 768\)颗 增加的数量为\(36\times3 = 108\)颗,原来三种石子的总数为\(1000\times(0.17 + 0.18+0.31)=660\)颗 则增加的百分比为\(\frac{108}{660}\times100\%\approx16.4\%\) 综上,答案为E选项。
