hi

The manager at the office supply store believes that the new CLP-300 laserjet printer will be used more as a replacement for printers in small offices and libraries rather than for high quality and feature-packed machines in large company settings because its noise emission, only 43 decibels, is far less than most other laserjet printers, which make about 50 decibels of noise each.

GMAT Club is another forum. that's not the original source.

whatever the source is, this problem is useless, since it's basically an inferior copy of this GMAT Prep problem:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... t1064.html

just study that problem ^^ and ignore this one, because there's no additional value you could possibly gain from this one.
