Answer 6

Does this make sense:

let y= # in dept Y. assume # in dept X is exactly 2y
then total salary = 2y*25 + y*35
and avg salary would be 85y/3y = 28.33
so moving people from dept Y to dept X would lower this to 28.
In the limit, if all people moved from Y to X, the avg would be 25, so 26 is also possible

Answer 7

Hi Apple Pi

Answer 8

i was thinking that you have average is
\[\frac{25x+35y}{x+y}\] with the obvious meaning of x and y. also you know
\[x>2y\] so smallest denominator could be is
\[3y\] if x =2 y, and biggest numerator could be is also if x = 2y at
\[95y\] so biggest whole fraction can be is
\[\frac{95y}{3y}=31\tfrac{2}{3}\] so anything less

Answer 9

smallest is if they all work in X right? in that case you get
\[25\]
