M is 20% less than N means
M is 100-20=80% of N
M=0.80 N
M/N = 0.8 = 4/5
Ratio: 4/5

When we know <em>a, </em>the average, and <em>n, </em>how many numbers there are, we know the sum <em>s</em>, because <em>a=s/n </em>so <em>s=na.</em>
So the sum of our six numbers is 6(3.5)=21 so the sum of the seven numbers is 21+4.2=25.2 so the average is 25.2/7 = 3.6
Answer: 3.6

|2p + 4 | < 3
At p=-2 the absolute value is zero. As p gets more negative the absolute value argument (inside part) gets negative and the absolute value gets bigger, more positive. Eventually the inside will be exactly -3, when
2p +4 = -3
2p = -7
p = -7/2 = -3 1/2
So p=-4 will make the inequality false, and p=-3 is the smallest integer that makes the inequality true.
Answer: -3
