Complete question :
Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5
Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57
Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2
Score on missing paper :
Sum of each score / number of papers
Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score
Let missing score = m
(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m
Recall:
Average = total sum / number of observations
Hence,
59.2 = (235 + m) / 5
59.2 × 5 = 235 + m
296 = 235 + m
m = 296 - 235
m = 61
Missing score = 61
If x is the number of berries you can buy with 1 dollar,
1 pound of blueberries = $4.00
x pound of berries = $1.00
Lets set up a proportion- because these are directly proportional- when there is more pounds of berries, it will cost more.
Cross multiply
4x=1
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x=1/4 or $0.25
Answer: s = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
s/4 + 15 = 14
We can subtract 15 from both sides:
s/4 = -1
We can multiply both sides by 4:
s = -4
Answer:
Total number of students= 7+ 9+4+5= 25
Tennis: total= 5:25= 1:5 (simplify by dividing both sides by 5
