1.1        The number of delivery trucks making daily deliveries to neighbouring supermarkets,
           Supermarket A and Supermarket B, in a two-week period are represented in the box-
           and-whisker diagrams below.

Supermarket
     A
                     8    10       12    14        16        18        20    22       24    26   28    30   32   34   36

           the two-week period was recorded. The data is shown below.

            10       15       20        x      30             35            15        31    32    21        x    27    28     29

           If the mean of the number of delivery trucks that made deliveries to supermarket A is
           24,5 during these two weeks, calculate the value of x.                                                                        (3)
