We can find averages by taking the sum of numbers and
- 00:24
dividing the sum by the... number of numbers.
- 00:30
In this case, we know that the mean, or k,
- 00:34
equals the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers (p).
- 00:39
Since we know that twice the sum is 240, the actual sum is 120.
- 00:45
Our equation becomes k equals 120 over p.
- 00:48
Because we want to find p, not k, we just need to rework the
- 00:52
equation to isolate p from the rest of it.
- 00:55
And we get p equals 120 over k.
- 00:58
The answer is B.
