The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.

Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...

Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64

Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')

128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x

The missing number is 320..


Now lets double check our work.

Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128

Answer=320

This is how i got the answer which is 16:

so first of all, if the mean is 64 then, u divide the 64/2 and u will get 32 so 32 + 32 would give u 64 but u wanna get the fourth number which 16 so then, u divide 32/2 which gets u the number 16 and then if u add up 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 64 so now 16 is the fourth number.

im sincerely sorry cuz i didn't know any other way to explain it but i hope this is correct!! :)

Stacie is choosing between two careers. Working for company A, Stacie will make $45,000 the first year and will receive an addit
fomenos

The expression in company B represents that is is in arithmetic progression where first term is 42000 and common difference is 1800 . So we have to use the formula of sum of n terms which is

S=\frac{n}{2}(2a +(n-1)d)

Where a is the first term, n is the nth term, d is the common difference

On substituting there values,we will get

S =\frac{30}{2}(2*42000+(30-1)1800)

= 15(84000+52200) = 15*136200 =2043000

And for company A, it is

S= \frac{30}{2}(2*45000+(30-1)1500 ) = 15(90000+43500)=2002500

Difference between them =2043000-2002500= 40500

So the correct option is the second option .

A retail store sells two types of shoes, sneakers and sandals. The store owner pays $8 for the sneakers and $14 for the sandals.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

134 sneakers and 66 sandals

Step-by-step explanation:

Sneakers= x, sandals= y

Profit rate:

  • sneakers: (10-2)/8= 25%
  • sandals: (17-14)/14= 21.4%

Sneakers are more profitable, so it should be maximized.

Cost:

8x+14y≤2000

x+y≤200

if we assume the maximum of 200 shoes stocked, then:

x= 200-y

8(200-y)+14y ≤ 2000

1600 - 8y +14y ≤ 2000

6y≤400

y≤66 and x=134 is the best option
