Here's (1)

 

 [154 + 190 + 143 + 180 +125  + x ]  / 6 =   160      simplify

 

[792 + x ] / 6    = 160      multiply both sides by 6

 

792 + x   = 960      subtract  792 from both sides

 

x = 168  =  Answer C

 

 

 

cool cool cool

1. Would be A, because mean is adding up all the numbers then dividing it by how many there are.

Ex. 154 + 190 + 143 + 180 + 125 = 792 

Then divide by 5 since there is 5 numbers, 792/5 = 158.4 then round to the nearest tenth so 158.

Number (2)  is confusing....are there 25 dealers or 30  ???

 

Cars   Dealers   Total

2          2               4

3          3               9

4          4             16

5          5             25

6          x             ??

7          2             14

8          1               8

9          1               9

10        2             20

 

Without taking "x" into cosideration, 105 cars have been sold by 20 dealers

 

If there are 25 dealers, x = 5 and the number of cars sold = 135

 

If there are 30 dealers, x = 10  and the number of cars sold = 165

 

 

cool cool cool
