It would be taking the median, since the data distribution is skewed to the right.
The reason for this is that half of the numbers occupy a small space of between 7 and 8. Therefore, the extreme values on the right can give you a misrepresentation of the data if you use the mean, which is why is would be more accurate to use the median instead of the mean.

Total Price: The sales tax rate is 5%. If the sales tax on a 10-speed bicycle is $9, what is the purchase price?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The purchase price is $180

The total price is: $189

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax rate = 5\%

Sales tax on bike = $9

We need to find the purchase price.

Let purchase price = x

We know that Sales tax = 5% of x

and Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax

So, we can write:

Sales tax = 5% of x

Putting values and finding x

$9 =5\% \:of\: x\\9=\frac{5}{100}\:of\:x \\x= \frac{9*100}{5}\\x=180$

So, the value of x i.e Purchase price = $180

The purchase price is $180

Now finding the total price of bicycle

Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax

Total price = 180 + 9

Total price = $189

So, The total price is: $189

How do you solve 6 x + 5 x − 25 = − 5 x − 28

Travka [436]

Answer:

x = -3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 5x - 25 = -5x - 28

11x - 25 = -5x - 28

Add 5x to both sides.

16x - 25 = -5x + 5x - 28

16x - 25 = -28

Add 25 to both sides.

16x - 25 + 25 = -28 + 25

16x = -3

Divide both sides by 16

16/16 = 1

-3/16

x = -3/16
