AMC10 2002 A · Q9

AMC10 2002 A · Q9. It mainly tests Systems of equations, Averages (mean).

Suppose $A$, $B$, and $C$ are three numbers for which $1001C - 2002A = 4004$ and $1001B + 3003A = 5005$. The average of the three numbers $A$, $B$, and $C$ is
假设 $A$、$B$ 和 $C$ 是三个数,使得 $1001C - 2002A = 4004$ 和 $1001B + 3003A = 5005$。这三个数 $A$、$B$ 和 $C$ 的平均值是
(A) 1 1
(B) 3 3
(C) 6 6
(D) 9 9
(E) not uniquely determined 不唯一确定
Answer
Correct choice: (B)
正确答案:(B)
Solution
(B) Adding $1001C-2002A=4004$ and $1001B+3003A=5005$ yields $1001A+1001B+1001C=9009$. So $A+B+C=9$, and the average is $$\frac{A+B+C}{3}=3.$$
(B)将 $1001C-2002A=4004$ 与 $1001B+3003A=5005$ 相加得到 $1001A+1001B+1001C=9009$。因此 $A+B+C=9$,其平均值为 $$\frac{A+B+C}{3}=3.$$
