Answer:
Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
45 pages total
3 on last page
45-3=42
there are 42 on the rest of the pages
on each page, there are 2 more pages in album than then stamps on pages
amount of stamps on pages with equal number of stamps is
A=numberofpgest times number of stamps on pages
number of pages=p
number of stamps per papge=s
a=ps
2 more pages than stamps on pages
p=2+s
total number of stamps per page is s=(45-3)/(p-1)
(what I did is I first got rid of number of stamps on last page, then got rid of the last page)
P=2+s
s=(45-3)/(2+s-1)
s=42/(s+1)
times s+1 both sides
s^2+s=42
minus 42
s^2+s-42=0
factor
(s-6)(s+7)=0
set equal to zero
s-6=0
s=6
s+7=0
s=-7, false, no negative stamps
6 stamps per page
sub
p=2+s
p=2+6
p=8
8 pages
check
last page is 3 so 8-1=7 page left
7*6=42
3+42=45
correct
there are
8 pages in the album
6 stamps per page
So the first 10 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Since a prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself and greater than 1, our answers are 2, 3, 5, and 7. That's 4 numbers, or 4/10=0.4 of the 10. Since percentage is based out of 1, we can multiply 0.4 by 100 to get 40%. I hope that Helped :)
The answer is ....................
X=5
Y=3
