You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose there were “x” students in a class who scored 100 and “y” students who scored 50. Write an algebraic expression for the mean in terms of “x” and “y”.
----------------
average = (# of points)/(# of students)
--------------------------------------------
Points: 100x
Points: 50y
# of students: x+y
-----
Mean = Average = (100x+50y)/(x+y)
