A.(A) 40%
B.(B) 50%
C.(C) 60%
D.(D) 70%
E.(E) 80%
参考答案:C
解析:In 1996, 50% of eleventh-graders used com-puters in school at least once a week, and 50% did not. Of the 50% that did not use com-puters in school at least once a week, 20% of them did use them the following year: 20% of 50% = .20 × .50 = .10 = 10%. So, in t997, 60% (50% + 10%) of the twelfth-graders used computers in school at least once a week.
