GWD18-Q12

[pimi]

Some computers at a certain company are Brand X and the rest are Brand Y. If the ratio of the number of Brand Y computers to the number of Brand X computers at the company is 5 to 6, how many of the computers are Brand Y?
(1)There are 80 more Brand X computers than Brand Y computers at the company.
(2)There is total of 880 computers at the company.

Ans:D

我選A, 因為題目一開頭就說some computers中有Brand X和Brand Y, 覺得好像指的是某些電腦有Brand X and Brand Y, some computers讓人覺得好像還有其他的電腦, 所以在看到B選項說total of 880 computers就把答案刪去了

請大大指點迷津

Y : X = 5 : 6

(1) Brand X computers more than Brand Y computers
==> 5/6 = Y / X => 5/6 = X-50 / X , 可求出X, Y, 充份

(2) Brand X computers + Brand Y computers = 880
==> 依比例分配，也可求出X , Y .. 充份

我了解X+Y=880依比例分配可以求出
但是就是卡在文句解釋上
題目說some computers中有Brand X和Brand Y, some computers讓人覺得好像還有其他的電腦, 所以(2)會讓我寫出x+y+ 其他電腦＝880的錯誤方程式

如果題目真的要表達我誤會的那個意思（some computers暗指還有其他的電腦）請問英文該如何表達呢？？
