One week a truck rental lot had a total of 20 trucks, all of which were on the lot Monday morning. If 50 percent of the trucks that were rented out during the week were returned to the lot on or before Saturday morning of the week, and if there were at least 12 trucks on the lot that Saturday morning, what is the greatest number of different trucks that could have been rented out during the week?
答案是16
為什麼不是18勒?
og的解說看不太懂,煩請個位幫幫忙!感恩∼∼
The difference between the number of trucks on the lot on Monday and the minimum number of trucks on the lot on Saturday is 8 trucks,which is the maximum number of trucks not on the lot Satuurday morning. Since 50 percent of the trucks that were rented out during the week were returned to the lot on or before Saturday morning, the greatest number of different trucks that could have been rented out during the week was
2*8=16 or twice the mazimum number of trucks not on the lot Saturday morning.
