To determine the total number of cars sold by the car dealer over the 26 weeks, we need to sum the number of cars sold each week as listed in the table.
Here are the number of cars sold each week for the first 11 weeks:
- Week 1: 1
- Week 2: 1
- Week 3: 4
- Week 4: 2
- Week 5: 4
- Week 6: 10
- Week 7: 8
- Week 8: 5
- Week 9: 9
- Week 10: 6
- Week 11: 2
We need to sum these numbers to get the total sales for these weeks:
1 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 9 + 6 + 2
Adding these up:
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 4 = 6
6 + 2 = 8
8 + 4 = 12
12 + 10 = 22
22 + 8 = 30
30 + 5 = 35
35 + 9 = 44
44 + 6 = 50
50 + 2 = 52
So, the total number of cars sold for the first 11 weeks is 52.
We know from the provided solution that the total number of cars sold over the entire 26 weeks is 146. To find the number of cars sold in the remaining 15 weeks (26 - 11 = 15), we can subtract the total sales of the first 11 weeks from the total sales of all 26 weeks:
146 - 52 = 94
Thus, the remaining 15 weeks' sales amount to 94 cars.
Hence, the total number of cars sold by the car dealer over the 26 weeks is 146.
