                       Mean equals fraction numerator sum xy over denominator sum space straight y end fraction

rightwards double arrow                   7.5 equals fraction numerator 9 straight p plus 303 over denominator straight p plus 41 end fraction

rightwards double arrow                   15 over 2 equals fraction numerator 9 straight p plus 303 over denominator straight p plus 41 end fraction

rightwards double arrow          2(9p + 303) = 15(p + 41)
rightwards double arrow           18p + 606 = 15p + 615
rightwards double arrow          18p - 15p = 615 - 606
rightwards double arrow           3p = 9

rightwards double arrow           straight p equals 9 over 3 equals 3
