A certain movie depicted product A in 21 scenes, product B in 7 scenes, product C in 4 scenes, and product D in 3 scenes. The four product manufacturers paid amounts proportional to the number of scenes in which their product was depicted in the movie. If each manufacturer paid x dollars per scene, how much did the manufacturer of product D pay for this advertising?
(1) The manufacturers of products A and B together paid a total of $560,000 for this advertising.
(2) The manufacturer of product B paid $60,000 more for this advertising than the manufacturer of product C paid.
The OA is D.
(1)
21x + 7x = $560,000
=> x = 560000/28 = 20000
So D paid -> 200000 * 3 = 60000
Sufficient
(2)
7x - 4x = 60000
=> x = 20000
So D paid -> 200000 * 3 = 60000
Sufficient.
The correct answer is D.
Has anyone another strategic approach to solve this PS question? Regards!
