Answer 1

To calculate the average weekly sales for the team, add the total sales and divide by the number of weeks. Sales team A's total sales over four weeks were 32 cars, leading to an average of 8 cars per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the average weekly sales for Sales team A at Dr. A Lot Car Sales over a four-week period. To find the average, we'll add up the total number of cars sold over the four weeks and then divide by the number of weeks. Team A sold 9 cars in the first week, 6 cars in the second week, 10 cars in the third week, and 7 cars in the fourth week.

Adding these numbers together gives us: 9 + 6 + 10 + 7 = 32 cars. To find the average, we divide this total by the number of weeks, which is 4: 32 cars ÷ 4 weeks = 8 cars per week. Therefore, the team's average weekly sales for the four weeks is 8 cars, which makes option (a) 8 cars the correct answer.
