Question

the mean weight of 9 players and 3 reserve players is 188 pounds what is the mean weight of the 3 reserve players

Answer 1

83.56/p

Explanation:

Let the weight of the players = p

Let the weight of the reserve players = r

Since there 9 players, there weight = 9p

And since there 3 reserve players, there weight = 3r

(9p + 3r) / 12 = 188

9p + 3r = 12 * 188

9p + 3r = 2256

Solve for r

r = 2256 / 27p

r = 83.56/p
