Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There were 40 2-point questions and 9 3-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this situation, write two equations. One for the number of questions and one for the number of points.

Let x be the number of 2 point questions.

Let y be the number of 5 point questions.

x + y = 49

Now since x are each worth 2 points, the total points is 2x.

And since y are each worth 5 points, the total points is 5y.

So 2x + 5y = 125. Substitute one of the equations into the other to solve for the variables.

x + y = 49 becomes x = 49 - y. Substitute it.

2(49-y) + 5y = 125

98 - 2y + 5y = 125

98 + 3y = 125

3y = 27

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 back into the equation x = 49 - y to find x.

x = 49 - 9

x = 40

The manager of a grocery store wants to determine the average amount of money spent at his store as it compares to the average d
dexar [7]

Given

Expenditures at Manager's Store; expenditures at Competitor's Store.

Find

a) average spent at each store

b) which store is better represented by the mean value

c) an explanation for the answer in ≥ 2 sentences

Solution

a) The sum of expenditures divided by the number of expenditures (15) is ...

... average for Manager's Store: $37.60

... average for Competitor's Store: $48.53

b) The expenditures at Manager's Store are well-represented by the mean (average).

c) The range of expenditures at Competitor's Store is significantly higher than at Manager's store, so a single number such as mean or median does not represent the data well. The expenditures at Manager's store are more compactly grouped around the mean and median, which are closer together, so the mean is a good representation of Manager's Store expenditures overall.
