Answer 2

Answer:he eighth sweater costs $29

Explanation:

Let the price of the eighth sweater be re[presented as X

We know that

Mean Price =Total sum of cost of sweater bought/ Number of sweater'

Plugging in our known values we have that

40=$50+ $55+ $30+ $35+ $39+ $40 + $42+X /8

8 X 40 =291 +X

320=291 +X

X =320-291

X=29

Therefore, the eighth sweater costs $29
