Question

Computer shipment in one year NA 8 orders 2384 total computerEurope 5 orders 3145 total computerAsia 7 2842Each shipment to a destination include the same number of computers. Round each number of computers to the nearest 100. Which destination shows an average of about 400 computers . How do you know ? What is the exact number of computers in each order shipped to that destination

Answer 1

First, let's round each number of computers to the nearest 100. We'll have that:

NA

2400 computers, 8 orders

Europe

3100 computers, 5 orders

Asia

2800 computers, 7 shipments

Now, we calculate the average for each area, dividing the total computers ordered by the number of orders:

NA:

$\frac{2400}{8}\rightarrow300$

Europe:

$\frac{3100}{5}\rightarrow620$

Asia:

$\frac{2800}{7}\rightarrow400$

Therefore, we can conclude that the destination that shows an average of about 400 computers is Asia.

The exact number of computers in each order shipped to that destination is:

$\frac{2842}{7}\rightarrow406$
