Answer:
B) 70.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Median = middle value when the values are placed in order.
If there are two middle values, the median is the mean of those two values.
<u>Class 1</u>
45 46 51 52 53 53 61 63 64 65 66 68 70 <u>70 71</u> 73 76 77 79 81 82 83 84 87 90 92 93 95
There are 28 values in Class 1.
Therefore, there are two middle values: 14th and 15th values
14th value = 70
15th value = 71
so... he sold 400 items, that means, whatever those quantities of c,b,p are, they add up to 400, thus
c+b+p = 400
now, the "c" sold for $10
the "b" sold for $8
and the "p" sold for $7
so, the amount of revenue on the "c" is 10 * c, or 10c
the revenue on "b" is 8*b or 8b
and the revenue on "p" is 7*p or 7p
whatever those amounts are, they ended up in $3,272
thus
10c + 8b + 7p = 3,272
now, he sold more lightly buttered, or "p", than just buttered corn or "b"
he actually sold twice as much, so whatever "b" is, "p" is twice that much
or
p = 2b
thus
solve for "b", to see how many buttered microwave popcorn Mike sold
how many lightly buttered? well, p = 2b
how many caramel ones? well c = 400 - 3b
