but it doesnot matter whether it is of 200 or of 33 (i.e. 16.5% of 200) because the total wont be greater than 100, making the median 35 or <35. so the poosible median(s) is/are 35 and 34..

33 items have price greater than $40. 1/3 of the number of items greater than$35 have price greater than $40. Thus, total number of items with price above$35 is 3*33 i.e. 99
