Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean you have to sum the values and then divide them by the number of values; for example, if you have 1 and 10, the mean will be 1+10 = 11, then 11/2 = 5.5, the mean is 5.5. The mean is affected by the highest value. If we continue summing high values, the mean will go grow, for example, if you have 1, 10, 10, the mean will be, 1+10+10 = 21 then 21/3 = 7. The mean is 7, and it is closer to 10 than 1.

As the reporter wants to show they are overpaid, the mean will give a number that its affected by the highest value, in this case, the player with a higher salary.

A hardware store makes a mixed bag of 42 items using screws, bolts, and washers. The cost of screws are $3.00 each, bolts cost $

Ghella [55]

The answer is 24 screws, 6 bolts, and 12 washers.

s - the number of screws
b - the number of bolts
w - the number of washes

The cost of screws are $3.00 each: 3s
The cost of bolts are $2.00 each: 2b
The cost of washers are $1.0 each: 1.5w

A hardware store makes a mixed bag of 42 items using screws, bolts, and washers: s + b + w = 42
The mixture calls for four times as many screws than bolts: s = 4b
The total cost of the mixture is $102.00: 3s + 2b + 1.5w = 102

The system of three equations:
(i) s + b + w = 42
(ii) s = 4b
(iii) 3s + 2b + 1.5w = 102

Substitute s from (ii) equation into (i) equation and express it in the term of w:
4b + b + w = 42
5b + w = 42
w = 42 - 5b

Substitute s from (ii) equation and w from (i) equation into (iii) equation:
3 * 4b + 2b + 1.5(42 - 5b) = 102
12b + 2b + 63 - 7.5b = 102
6.5b + 63 = 102
6.5b = 102 - 63
6.5b = 39
b = 39 : 6.5
b = 6

s = 4b = 4 * 6 = 24

w = 42 - 5b = 42 - 5 * 6 = 42 - 30 = 12
