At a movie theater, the size of popcorn bags decreased 20% . if the old bags held 15 cups of popcorn, how much do the new bags hold?

12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If the size of the bag decreased by 20%, so will the number of cups held.

Number of cups held before the change = 15 cups

If the number of cups held after the 20% reduction in the size of the bag

= (100 - 20)% × 15

=80% × 15

= 12 cups

The new bags will hold 12 cups.

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.
