Class $x_i$ $f_i$ $f_ix_i$
$0-20$ $10$ $7$ $70$
$20-40$ $30$ $p$ $30p$
$40-60$ $50$ $10$ $500$
$60-80$ $70$ $9$ $630$
$80-100$ $90$ $13$ $1170$
Total: $39+p$, $2370+30p$
Mean = $\frac{2370+30p}{39+p} = 54 \implies p = 11$
$0-20$ $10$ $7$ $70$
$20-40$ $30$ $p$ $30p$
$40-60$ $50$ $10$ $500$
$60-80$ $70$ $9$ $630$
$80-100$ $90$ $13$ $1170$
Total: $39+p$, $2370+30p$
Mean = $\frac{2370+30p}{39+p} = 54 \implies p = 11$
