To find the mean, you have to add all the numbers then divide it by how many numbers there are.
In this case, you'll need to add all those numbers and divide it by 4.

The mean is 1995.
Answer:
15 boys and 25 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:
g + b = 40
The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:
2b - 5 = g
First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b
Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:
2b-5 = 40-b
Which simplifies to:
2b + b = 40 + 5
3b = 45
b = 15
g = 40-15 = 25
15 boys, 25 girls.
Let me help you, but first I will explain the formula used to calculate monthly compound interest.
The formula used to calculate compound monthly compound interest is
a=p(1+r/n)^nt
P Represents the principal
R Represents the rate (in decimal)
N is basically 12 months
T Represents the time (in years)
Let's plug the numbers in.
First statement
"His bank has offered him a loan at 13% interest for 36 months"
12000(1+.13/12)^(12)(3)
12000(1+.13/12)^(12)(3) = $17,686.64
Second statement
"12% interest for 60 months"
Plug in the numbers into the formula.
12000(1+.12/12)^(12)(5)
12000(1+.12/12)^(12)(5) = 21,000.36
<u>Answer</u>
The answer would be "13% interest for 36 months" as it is much lower compared to the other statement.
The answer is a, -40 + 7 = -33
