He followed the steps below to determine the number of cars he needs to sell in the next month to have a mean number of sales per month of 24. Step 1: Find the total cars needed to have a mean of 24: 24 times 7 = 168. Step 2: Find the total cars sold: 18 + 22 + 26 + 12 + 25 + 20 + 19 = 142. Step 3: Subtract the total cars sold from the total cars needed: 168 minus 142 = 26. Step 4: State the George needs to sell 26 cars next month. Where did George make his first mistake?
