total income of 10 households = 250,000
income of 6 households = 30,000 * 6 = 180,000
average income of other 4 houses =\(\frac{250,000 - 180,000}{4}\) = \(\frac{70,000}{4}\)=17,500

step1. 25000*10=250000 (total income of 10 households)

step2. 30,000*6=180000 (total income of 6 households)


Step3. 250000-180000=70000

70000/4=17500 avg per household income. Option C.

Solution


Given:
    • The average income of 10 households = $25,000
    • The income of 6 households = $30,000 each

To find:
    • The average income of the other 4 households

Approach and Working:
    • $25,000 = sum of the incomes of all households /10
      o Implies, sum of the 6 households + sum of the other 4 households = \($25,000 * 10\)
      o Thus, sum of the other 4 households = \($250,000 – 6 * $30,000 = $70,000\)
    • Therefore, the average income of the other 4 households = \(\frac{$70,000}{4} = $17,500\)

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer: C

C. $17,500
D. $7,500
E. $7,000


The overall sum is 10 x 25,000 = 250,000.

The sum of 6 of the households is 6 x 30,000 = 180,000. Thus, we know that the sum of the incomes of the remaining 4 households is 250,000- 180,000 = 70,000.

So the average of those other 4 households is 70,000/4 = 17,500.

Answer: C

Given
Average (arithmetic mean) income of 10 households is $25,000.
Incomes of 6 households is $30,000 each

With the help of provided information, we can calculate
Total Incomes of 6 households = 6 x 30,000 = 180,000.
Total Incomes of 10 households =10 x 25,000 = 250,000.
Total Incomes of other 4 households = 250,000- 180,000 = 70,000
Average of those other 4 households = 70,000/4 = 17,500
