The students at a High School earned money for an international animal rescue foundation. 82 seniors earned an average $26.75 per student, 74 juniors earned an average $12.25 per student, 96 sophomores earned an average $15.50 per student, and 99 freshmen earned an average $10.85 per student. What was the average collection for a student in this school? A. $16.34
B. $16.13
C. $5.37
D. $16.63

B. $16.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Sum of n observations = Mean x n

Given, 82 seniors earned an average $26.75 per student, 74 juniors earned an average $12.25 per student, 96 sophomores earned an average $15.50 per student, and 99 freshmen earned an average $10.85 per student.

Total students = 82+74+96+99 =351

Sum of earnings of 82 seniors  = $26.75  x 82= $2193.5

Sum of earnings of 74 juniors  = $12.25 x 74 = $906.5

Sum of earnings of 96 sophomores  = $15.50  x 96 = $1488

Sum of earnings of 99 freshmen  =  $10.85 x 99 = $1074.15

Total earnings =  $2193.5  + $906.5+  $1488 +$1074.15

= $5662.15

Average collection = (Total earnings) ÷ (Total students )

= $5662.15÷ 351

≈ $16.13

Hence, the  average collection for a student in this school = 16.31

So, the correct option is B.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
