subtract(divide(subtract(90, 50), subtract(54, 50)), const_1)
for the past n days , the average ( arithmetic mean ) daily production at a company was 50 units . if today ' s production of 90 units raises the average to 54 units per day , what is the value of n ?
"( average production for n days ) * n = ( total production for n days ) - - > 50 n = ( total production for n days ) ; ( total production for n days ) + 90 = ( average production for n + 1 days ) * ( n + 1 ) - - > 50 n + 90 = 54 * ( n + 1 ) - - > n = 9 . or as 40 extra units increased the average for n + 1 days by 4 units per day then 40 / ( n + 1 ) = 4 - - > n = 9 . answer d ."
a = 90 - 50 b = 54 - 50 c = a / b d = c - 1
