Question 971822: In Fairlawn, there are 5000 households with an average of 2.26 people per household. Of these households, 1400 are single-person households and the rest are multiple-person households.
On average, how many people are in each multiple-person household?
Answer by macston(5194)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 5000 households average 2.26 people, there are (5000 x 2.26) 11300 people.
If 1400 of 5000 households are single-person, 3600 are multiple-person.
.
Of 11300 people, 1400 live in single-person households, so (11300-1400) 9900 people live in 3600 multiple-person households.
This comes to an average of 9900 people/3600 households or 2.75 people per household.
.
ANSWER: There is an average of 2.75 people in each multiple-person household.
