Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

So I started with an equation (g for green variable, y for yellow variable, b for blue variable)

8g + 5y + 8b = ??

Because of the lack of variables, I'm not really sure how to tie in the 50%, 20%, and 30%. (It could be unnecessary information)

But going off the average number of items, you have 8 green, 5 yellow, and 8 blue. So you can add them together for 21. From here, you divide 21 by 3 to get your average, 7.
