Question

You are researching the price of MP3 players. You found an average price of $58.80. One MP3 player costs $56 and another costs $62. Find the price of the third MP3 player.

Answer 1

Hello Quinten

 

Let x = the price of the 3rd mp3 player

 

(56 + 62 + x) / 3 = 58.80

 

118 + x = 58.80 x 3

 

118 + x = 176.40

 

x = 176.40 - 118 = 58.40
