Question

The car dealership kept track of how many cars they sold each week for 6 weeks: 75, 88, 34, 88, 64, 101. What is the average amount of cars sold each week?

a) 68
b) 74
c) 82
d) 96

Answer 1

To calculate the average number of cars sold each week, add up all the cars sold over the 6 weeks and divide by 6. The correct average is 75 cars per week, which does not match any of the answer choices provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average amount of cars sold each week can be found by summing the total number of cars sold over the 6 weeks and dividing by the number of weeks. The total cars sold are 75 + 88 + 34 + 88 + 64 + 101 = 450. Dividing this total by the number of weeks, which is 6, gives us the average number of cars sold each week: 450 ÷ 6 = 75. So, the average amount of cars sold each week is 75. However, none of the provided answer choices match this result, suggesting there may be a typo in the question or answer choices.
