Answer:

The mean of 25 students is 17.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the mean (average) is mean (average) = \frac{S}{N} , where S is the sum of the data, and N is the number of the data

∵ The average marks of the first 10 students are 17

- That means the mean is 17 and the number of students is 10

∴ Average = 17

∴ N = 10

∵ Average = \frac{S}{N}

- Substitute average by 17 and N by 10

∴ 17 = \frac{S}{10}

- Multiply both sides by 10

∴ 170 = S

∴ The sum of the marks of the first 10 students is 170

∵ The average of the next 15 students is 18

∴ Average = 18

∴ N = 15

- Substitute average by 18 and N by 15

∴ 18 = \frac{S}{15}

- Multiply both sides by 15

∴ 270 = S

∴ The sum of the marks of the next 15 students is 270

Now to find the mean of 25 students and the two sums and divide the answer by 25

∵ S = 170 + 270

∴ S = 440

∵ N = 25

∴ Mean = \frac{440}{25}

∴ Mean = 17.6

The mean of 25 students is 17.6

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of soap that she makes and eventually sells.

She intially spent $72 to purchase soap-making equipment, and the materials for each pound of soap cost $7. This means that the total cost of making x pounds of soap would be

7x + 72

Lisa sells the soap for $10 per pound. This means that her revenue for x pounds of soap would be

10 × x = 10x

If she eventually sells enough soap to cover the cost of the equipment, then

7x + 72 = 10x

10x - 7x = 72

3x = 72

x = 72/3 = 24

She would need to sell make and sell 24 soaps.

The cost would be

72 + 7 × 24 = $240

The total sales would be

10 × 24 = $240

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x
notka56 [123]

Answer:

x = 22/15

Step-by-step explanation:

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

Combine like terms on each side.

20x - 11 = 5x + 11

Add 11 to both sides. Subtract 5x from both sides.

15x = 22

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 22/15
