Answer:
Let x and y be the two numbers. Then
yx=57 and x−y=20
Cross multiplying the proportion
5x=7y or y=75x
So, x−y=20
x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20
⇒x=2140=70
y=75x=75×70=50
So smaller number is 50.
Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
The median of your data set will be 25.5
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x , then
x = 15 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )
3x = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 20 , then
× 20 = 4 × 4 = 16
$89.10 is the best guess.
