finding the mean based on percentages

[bullshark]

how do you go about solving the following DS problem?

What is the median number of apples per container for the containers at Andy's supermarket?

(1) 25 percent of the containers at Andy's Supermarket have 4 or more apples in each container.
(2) 35 percent of the containers at Andy's Supermarket have 2 or fewer apples in each container.


thanks in advance.

The answer is:
[spoiler] (C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.[/spoiler]

but not sure how to get to this solution quickly..

>=4 25%
<=2 35%

-> that rest of 40% are 3 (median)

[bullshark]

>=4 25%
<=2 35%

-> that rest of 40% are 3 (median)

that make sense.

I failed to incorporate the proper inequality :
4 or more means either 4 OR greater than 4 i.e. (x >=4)
2 or less means either 2 OR less than 2 i.e. (x<=2) in my original assessment.

Nice solution, KC!
