Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 2 \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>The mean of five numbers is 8</u> so we can write

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=8$

<u>When another number is added the mean is 7</u>, let s note x the another number we can write

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7$

From the first equation we can say

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=8*5=40$

So the second equation becomes

$\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7\\\\ \dfrac{40+x}{6}=7\\\\40 + x = 6*7=42\\\\ x = 42-40 = 2\\$

The solution is then 2

Hope this helps

In a city, 60% of the residents live in houses and 40% of the residents live in apartments. Of the people who live in houses, 20

Step2247 [10]

75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.

Answer:

i think this is the answer aha

to get from 5 to 55 you times by 11

so i think to get from 11.8 to x you do the same thing and multiply by 11.

11.8×11=129.8

so x= 129.8

i think aha
