25、 pages the photocopier copied in the 5 hours. Copying at the rate of 2 pages every 3 seconds is the same as copying at a rate of 40 pages every 60 seconds, or 40 pages per minute. This rate is the same as copying 2,400 pages every hour, or 12,000 pages in 5 hours. Since Quantity A is equal to 12,000

26、 and Quantity B is 12,000, the correct answer is Choice C. This explanation uses the following strategy. Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation 8 【正确答案】 108.7 【试题解析】 If A is the dollar amount of sales at Store T for 2007, then 8 percent of A, or 0.08A, is the a

27、mount of decrease from 2007 to 2008. Thus A - 0.08A = 0.92A is the dollar amount for 2008. Therefore, the desired percent can be obtained by dividing A by 0.92A, which equals = 1.0869565Expressed as a percent and rounded to the nearest 0.1 percent, this number is 108.7%. Thus the correct answer is 1

28、08.7%(or equivalent).This explanation uses the following strategies.Strategy 4: Translate from a Figure to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation Strategy 5: Simplify an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 For Choice A, since the only data given in Figure 8 are percent change

29、s from year to year, there is no way to compare the actual dollar amount of sales at the stores for 2008 or for any other year. Even though Store R had the greatest percent increase from 2006 to 2008, its actual dollar amount of sales for 2008 may have been much smaller than that for any of the othe

30、r four stores, and therefore Choice A is not necessarily true. For Choice B, even though the sum of the two percent decreases would suggest a 22 percent decrease, the bases of the percents are different. If B is the dollar amount of sales at Store S for 2006, then the dollar amount for 2007 is 93 pe

31、rcent of B, or 0.93B, and the dollar amount for 2008 is given by(0.85)(0.93)B, which is 0.7905B. Note that this represents a percent decrease of 100 - 79.05 = 20.95 percent, which is not equal to 22 percent, and so Choice B is not true. For Choice C, if C is the dollar amount of sales at Store R for

32、 2006, then the dollar amount for 2007 is given by 1.05C and the dollar amount for 2008 is given by(1.12)(1.05)C, which is 1.176C. Note that this represents a 17.6 percent increase, which is greater than 17 percent, so Choice C must be true. Therefore the correct answer consists of only Choice C(The

33、 dollar amount of sales at Store R for 2008 was more than 17 percent greater than that for 2006). This explanation uses the following strategies.
