Let x = the price of theradio
The price of a radio sold at the sale was the 15th highestprice
So, if all of the prices were written in ASCENDING order, then there would be 14 items that are moreexpensive than x (the price of the radio)
In other words, our list would look like this: ........x , ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?,?
The price of a radio sold at the sale was the 20th lowestprice
So, if all of the prices were written in ASCENDING order, then there would be 19 items that are lessexpensive than x (the price of the radio)
