Answer: 1. 41.67years

2. £9.21

3. 7.75cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. At a party, thirty people have an age of 30, forty have an age of 40 and fifty an age of fifty. What is their average age?

Total ages = (30 × 30) + (40 × 40) + (50 × 50) = 900 + 1600 + 2500 = 5000

Total number of people = 30 + 40 + 50 = 120

Average age = Total ages / Total number of people

= 5000/120

= 41.67 years

2. In a hardware shop, there are 30 spanners costing £6, 55 hacksaws costings £9 and 10 soldering irons costings £20. What is the average cost per item?

Total cost of items = (30 × £6) + (55 × £9) + (10 × £20) = £180 + £495 + £200 = £875

Total number of items = 30 + 55 + 10 = 95

Average cost per item = £875/95 = £9.21

3. Using this frequency table, find the average height of a turnip.

Height (to nearest cm)

6cm 7cm 8cm 9cm 10cm

Frequency: 3 8 12 4 1

Total height = (3 × 6cm) + (8 × 7cm) + (12 × 8cm) + (4 × 9cm) + (1 × 10cm) = 18cm + 57cm + 96cm + 36cm + 10cm = 217cm

Total number of turnips = 3 + 8 + 12 + 4 + 1 = 28

Average height = 217cm/28 = 7.75cm

Jordan’s family exchanged 250 dollars for 5000 pesos.

Effectus [21]

The number of dollars for one peso is 20 dollars.

Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency.

In order to determine how many pesos can be exchanged for a dollar, the value of pesos would be divided by the amount of dollars exchanged.

Exchange rate = 5000 / 250 = 20 dollars

This means that 1 peso would be exchanged for 20 dollars.

A sweet factory produces 5 different chocolate bars. the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for ever

IRISSAK [1]

a. There are 933 chocolate bars

b. There are 1200 chocolate bars

c. There are 1580 chocolate bars

<h3>How to calculate the number of chocolate bars</h3>

Since there are 5 different flavors,

let

x = orange flavored bars,
y = coconut flavored bars,
z = coffee flavored bars,
a = strawberry flavored bars and
b = honeycomb flavored bars and
X = total number of bars

Since the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for every 4 coconut flavored bars 5 honeycomb 6 orange 1 coffee and 4 strawberry

So, the ratio of their proportions are x:y:z:a:b = 6:4:2:1:5

So, the total ratio is T = 6 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 20

<h3>a. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 280 orange flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 6 orange flavored bars, the ratio of orange flavored bars to total is 6/20

So, the amount of orange flavored bars is x = 6/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20x/6

So, if there are 280 orange bars, there will be

X = 20x/6

X = 20 × 280/6

X = 5600/6

X = 933.33

X ≅ 933 chocolate bars

So, there are 933 chocolate bars

<h3>b. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 960 coconut flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 4 coconut flavored bars, the ratio of coconut flavored bars to total is 4/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is y = 4/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20y/4

So, if there are 960 coconut flavored bars, there will be

X = 20y/6

X = 20 × 960/4

X = 5 × 240

X = 1200 chocolate bars

So, there are 1200 chocolate bars

<h3>c. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 79 coffee flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 1 coffee flavored bars, the ratio of coffee flavored bars to total is 1/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is z = 1/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20z

So, if there are 79 coffee flavored bars, there will be

X = 20z

X = 20 × 79

X = 1580 chocolate bars

So, there are 1580 chocolate bars
