The price of shirts at Primark is defined as Euro (100+10x^2), where x is the number of shirts purchased. Bob purchased 5 shirts from the above shop. The average price of the shirt is:

A. 40
B. 50
C. 60
D. 70
E. 75

Total price of 5 shirts: 100+10x^2= 10(10+5^2) = 10 (35) = 350.
Average = total price/ no. of shirts = 350/5 = 70.

price of shirts = (100+10\(x^2\)) euro --- x= number of shirts purchased

bob purchased 5 shirts
total price of 5 shirts = (100+10*\(5^2\)) = 350 euro

average price of the shirt = \(\frac{350}{5}\) = 70

D is the answer

Solution:

Question 4: The price of shirts at Primark is defined as Euro \((100+10x^2)\), where x is the number of shirts purchased. Bob purchased 5 shirts from the above shop. The average price of the shirt is:

A. 40
B. 50
C. 60
D. 70
E. 75

In this question, we need to substitute the value of x = 5 shirts that are purchased in order to find out the price of those shirts. Then, we need to divide the total price obtained by 5 to find the average price of the shirt and hence, the answer to this question.

Therefore, putting the value of x = 5, we get:
\(100 + 10x^2 = 100 + 10*{5}^2 = 100 + 250 = 350\)
Average price of shirt = (Total price of 5 shirts) / 5 =\(\frac{350}{5}\)
Therefore, required average price = 70, which is Option D.

Option D is the right answer.

Solution:

Price of shirts: 100+ 10x^2
Now Bob purchased 5 shirts, it cost him a total of: 100+ 10*(5^2) = 350.

The average price of each shirt will be: 350/5 = 70.

Answer: 70
