Answer:

A = $11.75

E = $15.5

J = $21.75

Step-by-step explanation:

J = E + 6.25

A = J - 10

A + E + J = 49

(Apply Algebra & Simultaneous Equations)

Hence:

J -10 + E + J = 49

2J -10 + E = 49

2J + E = 59

2(E+6.25) + E = 59

2E + 12.5 + E = 59

3E = 46.5

E = $15.5

J = 15.5 + 6.25

J = $21.75

A = 21.75 - 10

A = $11.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So, add up the number and divide by how many number you have (definition of mean). 8 + 25 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 1 all divide by 6 (since there are 6 numbers)

8 + 25 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 1 is 64.

64/6 is about 10 without a remainder of 4
