Answer 1

Answer:

4,020

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = average

• Ideally, in order for us to have a 3,700 pound average, each of the four trucks would be 3,700 pounds. Added up, we would have a total of: 14,800 pounds (3,700×4)
• Let's see how much pounds we already have:
• 3,250 + 3,890 + 3,640 = 10,780

Now we need to find how much pounds we are missing: 14,800 - 10,780 =

4,020 for the fourth truck

• Let's check: 3,250 + 3,890 + 3,640 + 4,020 = 14,800
• 14,800/4 = 3,700 pounds

Good job! I hope this helps
