Finding Households from Population and Average People per Household

Very Easy Problem Solving Arithmetic

In a certain town, the total population is represented by the variable P. The average number of people per household is represented by the variable A. If we want to determine the number of households H in the town, we can use the formula:

H = P / A. We want to know how to find the value of H.

1. Statement (1): The total population P is 10,000.

2. Statement (2): The average number of people per household A is 5.

Determine whether we can calculate the number of households H using the information provided in the statements above.

Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Both statements (1) and (2) together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Each statement alone is sufficient.

Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.
