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!! :)

\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ \end{cases}\implies V=\pi r^2\cdot \cfrac{h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} \pi r^2=&area~of\\ &circular\\ &base\\ \cline{1-2} \stackrel{B}{\pi r^2}=&5\\ V=&45 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 45=5\cdot \cfrac{h}{3}\implies 135=5h\implies \cfrac{135}{5}=h\implies 27=h

cassidy loves black and yellow jelly beans she noticed when she was counting them that she had 7 less than three times as many b
Dmitriy789 [7]
Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
   = 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans
