Question

On average the number of drum sets sold in Michigan each year is 101,968, which is eight times the average number of drum sets sold each year in South Dakota. How many drum sets, on average, are sold each year in South Dakota?

Answer 1

12,746

Explanation:

To find this answer, we need to divide by 8

Since we know that South Dakota sells 8X less than Michigan, we have to use the opposite sign (which in this case is division.)

Now, we use the equation 101,968/8 which gets us an answer of…

12,746!
