Answer 1

Hello welcome to QuestionCove O:
The mean of these numbers means the average (so you would add them all up and divide by the amount of different numbers you added together)
If the mean of 5 games is 573, that means you would multiply 573 by 5 in order to get the total number of hotdogs sold in all 5 games.
573*5=2865
So next we would added together these 4 numbers, 523,604,544,596, in order to find out how many was sold in 4 games.
523+604+544+596=2267
You would then subtract 2865 by 2267 to get the number of hotdogs sold in game 5
2865-2267= 598 hot dogs
