The answer is 2x-6 I think
Answer:
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is given by the sum of all individual values divided by the number of values. For the first week the sum is:
sum1 = 6.5 + 8 + 7.25 + 13.5 + 9.75
sum1 = 45
Since she spent 10 less in the second week the sum is:
sum2 = sum1 - 10 = 45 - 10 = 35
The mean for each week is:
mean1 = sum1/5 = 45/5 = 9
mean2 = sum2/5 = 35/5 = 7
difference = mean1 - mean2 = 9-7 = 2
difference(%) = [2/9]*100 = 0.22*100 = 22%
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
Hey there!
If the price per orange is $.26 and we want to know how many oranges he bought and we have our total, we can set o equal to how many oranges he got and set up an algebraic equation:
0.26o = 2.08
We multiply .26 by o because o is how many oranges he bought and that's what we're solving for- so we multiply by the unit price.
To isolate o, we divide both sides by .26 to get:
The answer is C- Jim bought 8 oranges.
Hope this helps!
Fractions that have the same number on the bottom have a "common denominator."
