games

Step-by-step explanation:

Employees: 8

Sales last month: g

Average:

To find out how many games Chris sold, we have to take the average and subtract 17.

Since there are no more values we can use, this is as simple as we can get it. If we knew how many games they sold last month, we could get an exact answer for Chris using this expression.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
