Answer:

42

Explanation:

The chart shows how many bags have a certain number of sweets (e.g. 3 of the 9 bags have 39 sweets). To calculate how many sweets there are in the 10th bag, set up an equation where
x represents the number of sweets in the 10th bag:


(39(3)+40(2)+41(1)+42(1)+43(0)+44(2)+x)/(10)=41

41 is the mean, which you get by adding the number of sweets in each bag together and dividing it by the number of bags.

Simplify the equation:


(117+80+41+42+88+x)/(10)=41


(368+x)/(10) =41

Multiply both sides by 10:


368+x=410

Isolate the variable:


x=42
