The pants price range from 20 to 80 and the average is 50
So the average price per piece of pants is 25
The skirts price is from 80 to 100 and the average is 90
So the average price per piece of pants is 3.33
the answer is always greater.
B is the answer

A) Quantity A is greater.

C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
$20 < 1 pant < $80
1250 x 20 < 1250 pants < 1250 x 80
$25000 < 1250 pants < $100000
$80 < 1 skirt < $100
300 x 80 < 300 skirts < 300 x 100
$24000 < 300 skirts < $30000
Add both inequalities to get overall sum;
$49000 < 1250 pants + 300 skirts < $130000
Divide by total items i.e. 1550 to get the average
$31.61 < Average < $83.87
As we can see, B will always be greater than A
Hence, option B
