Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:

5x = 8y

x - y = 150

Let's solve the first equation for x:

x = 8y/5

Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:

(8y/5) - y = 150

Simplify:

3y/5 = 150

3y = 750

y = 250

If y = 250, then x is:

x = 8(250)/5 = 400

The answer is 250 and 400.

Answer: Median is the best measure of central tendency best represents the data.

Value of median= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : $10, $20, $15, $100, $10, $15, $10.

We observe that the above data has an outlier in it .

$100 is an extremely large value as compare to the other values in the data.

It means the data contains outlier.

Commonly , mean is the best measure of the central tendency.

We know that , when there is an outlier in the data , we prefer Median over Mean to measure the central tenancy of the data.

So for the given data set ,

Median is the best measure of central tendency best represents the data.

To find median , first arrange data in an order , we get

10 , 10 , 10 , 15 , 15 , 20 , 100

Number of data values = 7 (odd)

So Median= Middle-most number=  15

Hence, the median of data = 15
