Ahn 选择一个两位数,从 200 中减去它,然后将结果加倍。Ahn 能得到的最大数是多少?
(A)
200
200
(B)

220
(D)
380
380
(E)
398
398
Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
To maximize \(2 \times (200 - n)\), minimize the two-digit \(n = 10\), so \(2 \times 190 = 380\).
要最大化 \(2 \times (200 - n)\),最小化两位数 \(n = 10\),因此 \(2 \times 190 = 380\)。
