Hello! So, the problem is saying that 200 vitamins cost $8.75, and that is what we know. We also know that we're going to be looking at the cost of 500 vitamins, but we don't know. The numbers presented can be put into a proportion, and that can help solve the problem. 200 to 8.75, and 500 to a number we don't know. I'm no sure if you familiar with the how to set up a proportion, but it's saying this number over this other number (which is a fraction) equals another fraction. Make sure that your numbers always match up, so your not saying vitamins over money equal money over vitamins. Use cross products, divide, and then you'll have your answer. For this problem, since yours solving for money, make sure to have two decimal points and a dollar sign. I hoped this helped, if you have any questions shoot me a question or message. Good luck!
Can you please explain what I should do? I’m confused by the assignment sorry
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the mean (average), you need to add together all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are. In this case, there are 10 numbers.
2+7+5+4+3+3+5+5+6+5 = 45
45/10 = 4.5
each person will get 1.333333333333 or 1.3 for short.
