Given:
Profit = 372.60 + 17.2(advertising dollars)
Advertising dollars = 1,020
profit = 17,500
17,500 + residual value = 372.60 + 17.2(1,020)
17,500 + residual value = 372.60 + 17,544
17,500 + residual value = 17,916.60
residual value = 17,916.60 - 17,500
residual value = 416.60
residual value is 416.60 or 417 rounded off to the nearest integer
So 36% of x is 18
percent is parts out of 100
36%=36/100=0.36
'of' can be translated as muitiply
0.36 times x=18
divide both sdies by .36
x=50
the number is 50
7. because you would put the number set into order from least to greatest first, ti would look like this: 2,3,4,5,9,10,12,12. then go to the middle, crossing one from each side off at one time. Then you get 5 and 9 in the middle. Then the middle between 5 and 9 is seven, you can check this by: 5+9=14, then 14/2= 7.
Your median is 7.
