At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

[(3*N) + (9*2N)] / (3*N)
I got this first equation because there are initially N baseball cards at $3 each, and then twice as many baseball cards (2N) at $9 each. I added those two together to get the total cost that Ted spent buying baseball cards [(3*N) + (9*2N)]. To find the average, I divided that total cost by the number of baseball cards, (3*N,) which I got by adding N + 2N.
Simplifying that equation, I got (21*N)/(3*N)
Cancelling out the two N variables, I got 7 as the final answer (option E).

Average cost in dollars = \(\frac{TotalCost}{TotalQty}\)
Total Cost = (Qty\(_1\))(Cost\(_1\)) + (Qty\(_2\))(Cost\(_2\))
(Qty\(_1\))(Cost\(_1\)): \(n\) baseball cards that cost $3 each = n($3)
(Qty\(_2\))(Cost\(_2\)): twice as many cards (as \(n\)) that cost $9 each = 2n($9)
Total Cost in dollars: n(3) + 2n(9)
Total Qty: (n + 2n) = 3n
Average cost in dollars =
\(\frac{n(3) + 2n(9)}{3n}=\frac{3n+18n}{3n}=\frac{21n}{3n}=7\)
Answer E
