题意：500是总收入，profit=500-（labor + materials），问能否确定 profit比150大

（1）labor+materials=3倍的materials，即materials=1/2 labor

（2）profit>labor

（1）（2）单独显然无法确定

结合两个条件，由profit=500-（labor + materials），得labor + materials=500-profit，所以1.5 倍labor=500-profit，又由于1.5profit>1.5labor，所以1.5profit>500-profit，即2.5profit>500,得profit>200，能确定profit>150

故选 c
