Okay, let's slightly generalize this

Average of n numbers is a

and then r numbers are removed, and you're asked to find the sum of these r numbers.

Solution:

If average of n numbers is a then the sum of all these numbers is n\cdot a

Now we remove r numbers, so we're left with (n-r) numbers. and their. average will be {\text{sum of these } (n-r) \text{ numbers} \over (n-r)} let's call this new average a^{\prime}

For simplicity, say, sum of these r numbers, which are removed is denoted by x .

so the new average is \frac{\text{Sum of } n \text{ numbers} - x}{n-r}=a^{\prime}

or, \frac{n\cdot a -x}{n-r}=a^{\prime}

Simplify the equation, and solve for x to get,

x= n\cdot a -a^{\prime}(n-r)=n(a-a^{\prime})+ra^{\prime}

Hope you understand it :)

Answer:

The removed number is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the average of 5 numbers is 7. So you have to find the total values of 5 numbers :

let \: x = total \: values

\frac{x}{5}  = 7

x = 7 \times 5

x = 35

Assuming that the total values of 5 numbers is 35. Next, we have to find the <u>r</u><u>e</u><u>m</u><u>o</u><u>v</u><u>e</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>n</u><u>u</u><u>m</u><u>b</u><u>e</u><u>r</u> :

let \: y = removed \: number

\frac{35 - y}{4}  = 6

35 - y = 6 \times 4

35 - y = 24

35 - 24 = y

y = 11

Jim buys a calculator that is marked 30% off. If he paid $35, what was the original price?
liraira [26]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

He got 30% off

The discount is .30x

Subtract this from the original price to get the price he paid

x - .30x = price he paid

.70x = price he paid

.70x = 35

Divide each side  by .7

.70x/.7 = 35/.7

x=50
