Answer:

I'm assuming you have 4 options, and if so, the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding 36.6 off to 37 will make it easier to estimate the quotient when dividing by 5. For example, I can easily come up with a solution in my head when dividing 37 to 5 but it's harder for me to come up with a solution to 36.6.

If the mean of 25, 28, a, 30 and 32 is 27, then find the value of a.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = $\frac{sum}{count}$

= $\frac{25+28+a+30+32}{5}$ = $\frac{115+a}{5}$

Then

$\frac{115+a}{5}$ = 27 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

115 + a = 135 ( subtract 115 from both sides )

a = 20
