Answer:
a. £24,714.29
b. £16,833.33
Step-by-step explanation:
The calculation of mean income is given below:-
Mean income = Total addition of salaries ÷ Number of workers
= £9,500 + £25,000 + £13,250 + £72,000 + £12,750 + £29,500 + £11,000
= £173,000 ÷ 7
= £24,714.29
Now,
the Mean income excluding Deva's salary:
= Formula of Mean income
= Total addition of salaries excluding Deva salary ÷ Number of workers
= (£9,500 + £25,000 + £13,250 + £12,750 + £29,500 + £11,000) ÷ 6
= £101,000 ÷ 6
= £16,833.33
Gordon gets £72
Explanation:
Sarah gets twice as much as Gordon and Gordon gets three times as much as Malachy, which means that Malachy gets 1 part of the money, Gordon gets 3 parts because he has three times as much as Malachy, and Sarah gets 6 because she gets twice as much as Gordon. As a ratio from Sarah to Gordon to Malachy its 6:3:1. All of that adds up to £240. If u add 6+3+1 it gives you 10. 240/10 is £24. And Gordon has 3 parts so you do 3x24 which gives you £72
The question is incomplete because it must content a list of choices to select the right one.
Any way, a conclusion that you can make, and that is a common one for this kind of questions, is about whether the sum of the numbers of the second column may or not be the same sum of the numbers of the first column.
The condition for the two sums be the same is that when the digits of the second column are added together the result be the same obtained for the sum of the digits of the first column. In this case that is 6.
So, the possible answer is:
<span>If the end result from the second column is not 6, then the sum of the
numbers in the first column is not equal to the sum of the numbers in
the second column.</span>
