I'm assuming that x is part of the data set, and, with x, the mean equals 105. To find the value of x, you must add all the data values together to get 544+x (you still don't know what x equals). Then put 544+x over how many days values there are, including x (there are 6). You should have 544+x/6. Now, as this is how you would calculate the mean if you knew what x was equal to, you must set it equal to the mean, since you know what it is (105). You should now have 544+x/6 = 105. You have your equation set up--now you just have to solve it. I would multiply by 6 on both sides to get rid of the 6 on the left side. You would then have 544+x = 630. I would finally subtract 544 from both sides to get x = 86. Your final answer is x = 86.

Answer: 5.22kg
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, a farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the market. Of the pears and apples sold, 2/5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. To calculate the kilograms of apple sold goes thus:
Total kilograms sold = 8.7kg
Fraction of pears weight = 2/5
Pears kilograms sold = 2/5 × 8.7
= 0.4 × 8.7
= 3.48kg
Since the kilograms of pears sold is , 3.48kg, to get the kilograms of apple sold, we subtract 3.48kg from 8.7kg. This will be:
= 8.7kg - 3.48kg
= 5.22kg
