Mathematics

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

Reuben made 4 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 4 necklaces
zysi [14]

Answer:

$3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost was $24.40.

We know the cost for beads for each necklace is also $2.20, multiply this by four to find the cost of the beads for all the necklaces.

$2.20 × 4 = $8.80

Now we will subtract this from the total price.

$24.40 - $8.80 = $15.60

$15.60 Is the remaining cost for the pendants of all four necklaces. We will now divide this by four to find the price of a single pendant.

$15.60 ÷ 4 = $3.90

<u>This means the cost of each pendant is $3.90</u>
