答案 A
解析 In this question you are asked to compare the price at which Emma sold the bicycle with $140. From the information given, you can conclude that Emma spent a total of 75 + 27 = 102 dollars buying and repairing the bicycle and that she sold it for 40 percent more than the $102 she spent buying and repairing it. If you notice that 140 is 40 percent more than 100, you can conclude that 40 percent more than 102 is greater than 40 percent more than 100, and therefore, Quantity A is greater than Quantity B. The correct answer is Choice A.(If you solve the problem in this way, you do not have to calculate the value of Quantity A.)
Another way to solve the problem is by explicitly calculating the value of Quantity A and comparing the result with $140 directly. Since 40 percent of 102 is(0.4)(102)= 40.8, it follows that Quantity A, the price at which Emma sold the bicycle, is 102.00 + 40.80 = 142.80 dollars. Thus Quantity A, $142.80, is greater than Quantity B, $140, and the correct answer is Choice A.
