题目解答
答案
根据图片中的短文内容,我们可以提取出以下关键信息来解答这道题:
1. 提取已知数据:
- 总销量: 今年第一季度(the first quarter of this year)全球共销售了 97 million(9700万)部手机。
- 诺基亚的市场份额(渗透率): 达到了 35.3 percent(35.3%)。
2. 计算第一季度的总销量:
题目问的是诺基亚在第一季度总共卖了多少手机,我们需要用总销量乘以诺基亚的市场份额:
$97 \text{ million} \times 35.3\% \approx 97 \times 0.353 \approx 34.24 \text{ million}$
也就是说,在第一季度(3个月)内,诺基亚总共销售了大约 3400万 部手机。
3. 计算每月的平均销量:
题目具体问的是:“How many mobile phones did Nokia sell each month in the first quarter of this year?”(今年第一季度,诺基亚每个月卖了多少部手机?)
第一季度包含 3 个月,所以我们需要将第一季度的总销量除以 3:
$34.24 \text{ million} \div 3 \approx 11.4 \text{ million}$
4. 对比选项:
- A. About 11 million. (约1100万)—— 与我们计算出的每月平均销量(约11.4 million)非常吻合。
- B. About 20 million. (约2000万)—— 不符合。
- C. About 34 million. (约3400万)—— 这是第一季度的总销量,而不是每月的销量,属于干扰项。
- D. About 97 million. (约9700万)—— 这是全球总销量,不符合。
结论:
经过计算,诺基亚在第一季度每个月大约销售 1100 万部手机。
因此,正确答案是 A. About 11 million.
