Question

Q. marx's clothing store is selling a lot of items. On Monday 495 items were sold. On Tuesday 450 items were sold. On Friday 593 items were sold. Marx's misplaced the totals for Wednesday and Thursday, but the average over the five days was 494 items per day. What could have been the totals for Wenesday or Thursday?

Answer 1

494 * 5 = 2,470

2,470 - (495 + 450 + 593) = 932

932 / 2 = 466

Wednesday and Thursday sales were probably around 466 each day.

Answer 2

The total items sold in Wednesday and Thursday is 466.

Answer 3

To find out the possible totals for Wednesday and Thursday, we need to use the given information and do some calculations.

Let's assume the total number of items sold on Wednesday is X, and the total number of items sold on Thursday is Y.

According to the given information, the total number of items sold over the five days is 494 items per day on average. So, the sum of the total items sold over the five days can be calculated as follows:

Monday: 495 items
Tuesday: 450 items
Wednesday: X items
Thursday: Y items
Friday: 593 items

Total = 5 * 494 (as 494 is the average number of items per day)
Total = 2470

Now, let's set up an equation based on the given information:

495 + 450 + X + Y + 593 = 2470

Combine like terms:

(X + Y) = 2470 - (495 + 450 + 593)
(X + Y) = 2470 - 1538
(X + Y) = 932

Therefore, the total number of items sold on Wednesday and Thursday combined is 932.

Since we are trying to find the possible totals for Wednesday and Thursday individually, we can divide the total by 2:

(X + Y) / 2 = 932 / 2
(X + Y) / 2 = 466

This means that the sum of the possible totals for Wednesday and Thursday is 466.

We can now consider different scenarios:

1. Wednesday = 466, Thursday = 0
In this case, the total number of items sold on Wednesday is 466 and on Thursday is 0.

2. Wednesday = 0, Thursday = 466
In this case, the total number of items sold on Wednesday is 0 and on Thursday is 466.

3. Wednesday = 233, Thursday = 233
In this case, the total number of items sold on both Wednesday and Thursday would be 233.

So, the possible totals for Wednesday could be 466, 0, or 233, and the possible totals for Thursday could also be 466, 0, or 233.
