There were 75 roasted turkeys at Ally's Eats. Bob's Goods had 4/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats. If Ally's Eats had 5/6 as many roasted turkeys as Charlotte's Market what was the average number of roasted turkeys owned by each of the three shops?

Final answer:

To find the average number of roasted turkeys owned by each of the three shops, add up the number of turkeys owned by all three shops and divide by the number of shops. In this case, the average is 75 turkeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average number of roasted turkeys owned by each of the three shops, we need to calculate the total number of roasted turkeys owned by all three shops and then divide it by the number of shops.

First, we find the number of roasted turkeys owned by Bob's Goods, which is 4/5 * 75 = 60 turkeys.

Next, we find the number of roasted turkeys owned by Charlotte's Market, which is 75 / 5/6 = 90 turkeys.

Finally, we add up the number of turkeys owned by all three shops: 75 + 60 + 90 = 225 turkeys.

To find the average, we divide the total number of turkeys by the number of shops: 225 turkeys / 3 shops = 75 turkeys.

Therefore, the average number of roasted turkeys owned by each of the three shops is 75 turkeys.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Roasted turkey in Ally's Eats = 75

Roasted turkey in Bob's goods = 4 / 5 x Ally's Eats

= (4 / 5) x 75

= 60

Roasted turkey in Charlotte's Market = N ( let )

Given

5/6 N = 75

N = 6 / 5 x 75

= 90

Roasted turkey in Charlotte's Market = 90 .
