题目
A discount of 5 percent on the listed price of an article was offered, reducing the profit by $120 that could have been earned if it were sold at the listed price.
Quantity A
The actual price at which the article was sold
选项
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
设 L = 该商品的标价,c = 该商品的成本,p = 按标价出售该商品所获得的利润。
L - c = p
0.95L - c = p - 120
0.05L = 120
L = 2400
打 5% 折扣后,该商品的实际售价为 0.95 × L = 2280。
由于 2280 > 2000,因此A项的数值更大。
