Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 =  ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

sesenic [268]

<u>Answer:</u>

He must sell 190 posters make a profit of $300.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given:

Base fee= $270  

Fee for supplies= $2

Cost of poster=$5

To find:

The number of posters to be sold to get a profit of $300=?

Solution:

Let the number of posters sold be n.

Now, we know that,

profit = selling price – cost price

$ 300 = $ 5 for each poster – ( $ 270 base fee + $ 2 for each poster)

300 = 5 x n – (270 + 2 x n)  

300 = 5n – 270 – 2n  

5n – 2n = 300 + 270  

3n = 570  

n=\frac{570}{3}

n = 190
