7.5% is 3/40. The equation is y=15250(1-3/40)ˣ=15250(37/40)ˣ.
When x=8 this becomes $8173.42.

If a 12-student class averaged 90 on a test, and a 20-student class averaged 80 on the test, then all 32 students averaged

Alexxx [7]

Let the marks of the students in class 1 be

$m_1, m_2, ....., m_1_2$

the average of these 12 marks is 90, so

$\frac{m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2}{12}=90$

which means

$m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2=90*12=1080$

similarly, let $n_1, n_2, ....., n_2_0$ be the marks of the students in the second class,

so $\frac{n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0}{20}=80$

which means $n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0=80*20=1600$

The 32 students averaged:

$\frac{(m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2)+(n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0)}{12+20}= \frac{1080+1600}{32}= \frac{2680}{32}= 83.75$
