Re: Four buses carry tourists, so that the number of tourists in the first [#permalink]

Four buses carry tourists, so that the number of tourists in the first bus is 40 percent more than that in the second bus, but 30 percent less than that in the third bus. The fourth bus carries twice as many tourists as the second bus. The average (arithmetic mean) of the number of tourists in each bus is what percentage of the mode of these numbers?


A. 16 \(\frac{2}{3}\)

B. 33 \(\frac{1}{3}\)

C. 60

D. 75

E. 80

Bus#

1. 140x/100

2. x

3. y

4. 2x

y(7/10) = 140x/100

So, y=2x, Hence Mode= 2x

To find: [{(7x/5 + 5x)/4} / 2x ] *100
E 80%

Re: Four buses carry tourists, so that the number of tourists in the first [#permalink]
2nd bus = 100
1st bus = 140
3rd bus = 200
4th bus = 200
total = 640
avg = 160
mode = 200
so % ; 160/200 ; 80%
IMO E
