Answer is A

by hakyology » Sun Jul 27, 2008 9:58 pm
revenue 1996 1997
car x 0.89x
truck y 1.07y

0.89x + 1.07y = 1.01( x + y )
if you solve this, then you will get 2x=y

what we are looking for is the ratio of car revenue in 1996 (x) to truck revenue in 1996 (y).

so, x/y = x/2x

the answer is 1:2

A.

let me know if you get confused.
