The city of newville has 38,000 residents, with an average of 2.3 persons per domicile. If there are 35 plumbers in Newville, how many houses are available, on average, per plumber?&#10;A) 1085&#10;B) 1000&#10;C) 472&#10;D) 138

Accepted Answer

To calculate the number of houses available per plumber, we need to first calculate the total number of domiciles in Newville.

Number of domiciles = Number of residents / Average persons per domicile 
Number of domiciles = 38000 / 2.3 
Number of domiciles = 16521.74

Since we can't have a fraction of a house, we'll round down to the nearest whole number to get:

Number of domiciles = 16521

Now, we can calculate the number of houses per plumber:

Houses per plumber = Number of domiciles / Number of plumbers 
Houses per plumber = 16521 / 35 
Houses per plumber ≈ 472

Therefore, the answer is C: 472.
