Kepler's third law described the relation between semi-major axis (or average distance to the star) and the orbital period (how long it takes to complete one lap) as follows: 
                                           a^3 / p^2 = constant
In the case of our Solar system the constant is 1 
This means that, for this problem:
a^3 / p^2 = 1
p^2 = a^3
p = a^(3/2)
The semi major axis is given as 101 million km. We need to convert this into AU where 1 AU is approximately 150 million Km
101 million Km = (101x1) / 150 = 0.67 AU

Now, we substitute in the equation to get the orbital period as follows:
p = (0.67)^(3/2) = 0.548 earth years

tino4ka555 [31]

The price of third MP3 Player is $58.4

Further explanation:

Given

Price of first MP3 player= p1= $56

Price of second MP3 Player = p2= $62

Price of third MP3 Player=?

Average = X = $58.80

The formula for average is:

X =\frac{Sum}{No.\ of\ items}

We have 3 items.

Putting the values

58.80=\frac{56+62+p_3}{3}\\58.80*3=118+p_3\\176.4=118+p_3\\p_3=176.4-118\\p_3=58.4\ dollars

The price of third MP3 Player is $58.4
