Question

For how many boxes are the average and median of the numbers of coins contained in the three sacks in that box the same?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 8
• A. 45
• B. 15
• C. 36
• D. 30

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Each container contains three sacks, with coin counts between 1 and 9 (inclusive). The average (mean) number of coins per sack in each container is a distinct integer. Also, the total number of coins in each row and each column of the 3x3 grid is the same.

Total Coin Calculation

Possible averages for a container of 3 sacks: 1 through 9 (distinct). Thus, total coins in a container = 3 × average = 3, 6, 9, ..., 27. These totals are all divisible by 3. 
Therefore, the sum of all 9 containers = \( 3 + 6 + 9 + \dots + 27 = 135 \). But only 9 distinct averages allowed, and sum = \( 3 \times (1 + 2 + \dots + 9) = 135 \)

So total per row/column = \( \frac{135}{3} = 45 \)

Grid Setup

	C1	C2	C3
R1	1,1,7 (avg=3)	3,9,9 (avg=7)	1,6,8 (avg=5)
R2	1,2,9 (avg=4)	1,2,3 (avg=2)	9,9,9 (avg=9)
R3	7,8,9 (avg=8)	1,8,9 (avg=6)	1,1,1 (avg=1)

Final Notes

The cells where average = median are:

• (3,1): 7,8,9 → median = avg = 8
• (2,2): 1,2,3 → median = avg = 2
• (2,3): 9,9,9 → median = avg = 9
• (3,3): 1,1,1 → median = avg = 1

Therefore, the answer is: 4

 

Answer 2

The puzzle involves a 3×3 grid of boxes. Each box contains 3 sacks of coins. The average number of coins per sack in each box is a distinct integer from 1 to 9.

Given:

• The total number of coins = \( 3 \times (1 + 2 + \cdots + 9) = 3 \times 45 = 135 \)
• Each row and each column of boxes must sum to 45 coins.
• The total in each box must be divisible by 3 (since each box has 3 sacks).

 

From the tables:

• Table 1 gives the median number of coins in sacks of selected boxes.
• Table 2 gives:
  • The count of sacks in each box with more than 5 coins.
  • A * indicates the box satisfies exactly one of the following:
  • ** means it satisfies two or more:
    1. Minimum = 1
    2. Median = 1
    3. Maximum = 9

 

Strategy:
Use logic to determine extreme values:

• The box with average 1 must contain sacks like (1,1,1)
• The box with average 9 must be (9,9,9)

 

Use constraints on medians, max/min values, and known box sums (multiples of 3 and unique values from 3 to 27).

After working through all constraints and validating against both tables...

Hence, the box with average 9 is the answer.

Final Answer: 9

Answer 3

The average number of coins per sack in the boxes are all distinct integers. The total number of coins in each row is the same. The total number of coins in each column is also the same.

The average number of coins per sack in the boxes are all distinct integers. The total number of coins in each row is the same. The total number of coins in each column is also the same. The averages are 1, 2, 3, 4,.....9. The totals are these into 3. Total number of coins = 3(1 + 2 + 3....9) = 135. Each row and each column adds up to 45. Also, the total number coins in each box should be a multiple of 3.

Hence the Answer is 9





 

Answer 4

Each box contains 3 sacks. Each sack has between 1 and 9 coins. The average number of coins per box is a distinct integer between 1 and 9. So, possible total coins in any box are: \(3, 6, 9, \ldots, 27\).

The sum of all averages = \(1 + 2 + \dots + 9 = 45\). Since there are 9 boxes (3×3), and row and column totals are equal, each row and each column must sum to 15.

Filled Grid (Box contents with average in parentheses)

	C1	C2	C3
R1	1,1,7 (3)	3,9,9 (7)	1,6,8 (5)
R2	1,2,9 (4)	1,2,3 (2)	9,9,9 (9)
R3	7,8,9 (8)	1,8,9 (6)	1,1,1 (1)

Logic Highlights

• Total average = \(45\), so each row and column sums to \(15\).
• Each box has 3 values with integer average; all averages are distinct from 1 to 9.
• From constraints, bags like (3,1) must be \(7,8,9 \Rightarrow \text{avg } 8\).
• Bags like (2,1) must be \(1,2,9 \Rightarrow \text{avg } 4\), and so on.

Final Answer

Number of bags where all 3 sack coin counts are distinct: 5 bags.

Answer 5

1. Analyzing Conditions for Each Box:
- From Table 2, any box marked with "\" satisfies multiple conditions.
- One such condition could be that the maximum number of coins in a sack is 9.

2. Identifying Boxes with Sacks Containing 9 Coins: 
- By systematically checking each box and applying the given constraints,
- We identify that 5 boxes have at least one sack that contains exactly 9 coins.

Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{5} \] boxes contain at least one sack with 9 coins.

Answer 6

1. Understanding the Constraints: 
- The total number of coins in each row and each column is the same.
- The average number of coins per sack in each box is a distinct integer.

2. Analyzing the Third Row:
- Based on the distinct integer average values and the equality of row and column totals from Tables 1 and 2, we can set up equations.
- Let each box in the third row have an average of \( a_1, a_2, a_3 \) coins per sack and \( s_1, s_2, s_3 \) sacks respectively.
- Then the total number of coins in the third row is: 
\[ \text{Total coins in 3rd row} = a_1 \cdot s_1 + a_2 \cdot s_2 + a_3 \cdot s_3 \] - Solving based on the given structure of the puzzle and distinct averages that satisfy all grid constraints gives us the total.

3. Conclusion:
- After testing valid combinations and ensuring all conditions are satisfied, we find the total number of coins in all the boxes in the third row is: 
\[ \boxed{45} \]
