last year, the five employees of company x took an average of 16 vacation days each. What was teh average number of vacation days taken by teh same employees this year?
1. three employees had a 50% increase in their number of vacation days, and two employees had a 50% decrease/
2. Three employees had 10 more vacation days each and two employees had 5 fewer vacation days each.
qa is B
Obviously, statement 1 is insufficient because we need to know what the original number the increases and decreases are based on. BUT in statement 2, hwo is this sufficient. My specific question is WHERE do we know what to base the increase and decrease of days from. I ruled this out because we dont know what the original days the increases are based on. I ruled it out since we dont know if the 10 day increase is from an origiinal of 1 day each or an original of 20 days each. Can we make sense of this?
