(a) In a sale, the price of a car was reduced from $ 17 000 to $ 15 300. Calculate the reduction as a percentage of the original price.

reduction = 17000-15300= 1700

precentage of original price = 1700÷ 17000×100

=10%

b

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
