(2) At this recreation center, Ryan, a member, had a massage and 2 additional services for a total charge of $60. 00.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】Let x be the charge, in dollars, of each additional service. Determine the value of (60)(0.5) + 3x, or equivalently, determine the value of x.(1) The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Jordan had.Massage Total charge x30-minute 15 + 3x = 37.50 7.5060-minute 30 + 3x = 37.50 2.5090-minute 45 + 3x = 37.50 -2.50From the table it follows that there are two possible values of x, namely x = 7.5 and x = 2.5; NOT sufficient.(2) The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Ryan had.Massage Total charge x30-minute 15 + 2x = 60 22.5060-minute 30 + 2x = 60 15.0090-minute 45 + 2x = 60 7.50From the table it follows that there are three possible values of x, namely x = 22.5, x = 15, and x = 7.5; NOT sufficient.Given (1) and (2), it follows that x = 7.5.The correct answer is C;both statements together are sufficient.
