The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4
Mult both sides by 4:
8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.
If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"
Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,
2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:
n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
The answer would be C. When you calculate the mean, it includes every number for a certain period of time into things and averages it out. The median does not average out all the numbers.
Answer:
75 roasted turkeys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ally's Eats had 75 roasted turkeys.
Bob's Goods had 4/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats, hence, the number of roasted turkeys Bob's Goods had is:
4/5 * 75 = 60 roasted turkeys
Ally's Eats had 5/6 as many roasted turkeys as Charlotte's Market. In other words, Charlotte's market had 6/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats:
6/5 * 75 = 90 roasted turkeys.
The average is given as the sum of all toasted turkeys in the three shops divided by 3. Hence:
A = (75 + 60 + 90) / 3
A = 225 / 3 = 75 roasted turkeys
The average number of roasted turkeys in the three shops is 75.
