Answer:

The measure of center is the average or mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights (in pounds) of six dogs are listed below.

17 56 85 38 138 98

Arranging in ascending order, we get

17 38 56 85 98 138

The measure of center is found to be 72 lb.

This is the average or mean. We can check this as:

$\frac{17+38+56+85+98+138}{6} =72$

Mary loves eating fruits.Mary paid $7.98 for each of 2 berries and $ 5.99 for 3 peaches with 2 $20 dollars.How much change did M

kupik [55]

Answer:

$6.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mary has two twenty dollar bills, equaling to forty dollars in total.

So lets start on the first few things she buys, the berries, each costing 7.98 dollars and cents, since she only bought two, that means we need to multiply 7.98 by 2

==> 15.96 dollars and cents

Now we can take it out of forty.

$ 40.00

- $ 15.96

-------------------

$24.04

Now we only have 24.04 dollars and cents.

Now for the next few items, the peaches which costs 5.99 each, then since he only bought 3, we multiply 5.99 three times.

==> 17.97 dollars and cents

Now we can take it out of 24.04.

$24.04

- $ 17.97
