Question

There are several bowls containing various amounts of grapes on a table. When 12 of the bowls each had 8 more grapes added to them, the mean (average) number of grapes per bowl increased by 6.How many bowls of grapes are on the table?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 16 bowls

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bowls = x

Total grapes added = 12 x 8 = 96

The average increased by 6

So 96/6 = 16

There were 16 bowls of grapes on the table

OR

12 x 8 = 96

96/6=16
