Each employee of a certain company is in either Department X or Department Y, and there are more than twice as many employees in Department X as in Department Y. The average (arithmetic mean) salary is $25,000 for the employees in Department X and is $35,000 for the employees in Department Y. Which of the following amounts could be the average salary for all of the employees in the company?
Indicate all such amounts.
A $26,000
B $28,000
C $29,000
D $30,000
E $31,000
F $32,000
G $34,000
本题我们要注意到题目中的more than twice的字眼，我们当做twice算的时候，结果是(25000*2+35000)/3约等于28333，因为有more than，所以选的答案要么是比前面这个数大，要么小，又由于more的是X部门的，那么肯定会将平均工资给拉低了，因此，选比前面那个数小的答案，AB都可以了。
