Pretzel vendor: The new license fee for operating a pretzel stand outside the art museum is prohibitively expensive. Charging typical prices, a vendor would need to sell an average of 25 pretzels per hour to break even. At my stand outside city hall, I average only 15 per hour. Therefore, I could not break even running a pretzel stand outside the art museum, much less turn a profit.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pretzel vendor's argument?
There is currently no license fee for operating a pretzel stand outside city hall.
Pretzel vendors who operate stands outside the art museum were making a profit before the imposition of the new license fee.
The number of pretzel stands outside the art museum is no greater than the number of pretzel stands now outside city hall.
People who buy pretzels at pretzel stands are most likely to do so during the hours at which the art museum is open to the visitors.
Fewer people passing the art museum than passing city hall are to buy pretzels.
premise:新的在museum外的执照费很贵
如果Charging typical prices,这里的price是指pretzel的price,而不是license的(因为是vendor charging啊,如果是license fee的话应该就是charged了吧),就是说如果售价不变,那么在博物馆外要卖25个break even,在city hall外卖15个回本
所以在售价不变的情况下,license fee涨了,就得卖的更多( E:买的人更多)才能回本,反过来说就是没人买就更回不了本
conclusion:在museum外赚不回来钱
