B.The quantity in Column B is greater.
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
对于百分数问题,选取一个简便的总比赛场数作为“假设数”,100 是个不错的选择。
假设赛季总比赛场数为 100 场。该队在七月前赢得了其中 80% 的比赛,那么已进行的比赛场数为 100×0.8=80 场。该队在这些比赛中的胜率为 50%,即赢得了 80×0.5=40 场。
接下来,该队赢得了剩余比赛的 60%。总比赛场数为 100 场,已进行 80 场,因此还剩 100 - 80 = 20 场。该队在剩余比赛中胜率为 60%,即赢得了 20×0.6=12 场。
综上,该队总共在 100 场比赛中赢得了 40 + 12 = 52场,即占总比赛场数的 52%。两个量相等。
