Answer 1

Answer: The average number of cases per bid is 599.

Explanation:

Given: One week she put together bids for 680 cases, 507 cases, 830 cases, 391 cases, and 587 cases.

Total cases = 680 + 507 + 830 + 391+587

= 2995

Number of bids = 5

Now, average number of cases per bid =
`\frac{\text{Total cases }}{\text{Number of bids}}`

`=(2995)/(5)\\\\=599`

Hence, the average number of cases per bid is 599.
