Question

The average weekly pay of five employees of Fairside Home Furnishings is $853. The weekly

pay of four of the employees is $760, $911, $817, and $795. What is the weekly pay of the other
employee

Answer 1

982

Explanation:

calculate the average pay of all 5 salaries:

854 × 5 = 4.265

add up all the salaries of the 4 employees

760+911+817+795 = 3283

subtract the salaries of the 4 employees from the total average of the 5 wages

4265-3283 = 982

you can do the test by adding all the wages and dividing by the number of wages, and the result will be the average wage written in the problem:982+760+911+817+795 = 4265

4265÷5 = 853

Answer 2

Explanation:

So, 760 + 911 + 817 + 795 were missing the last number so we would add up the previous 4 numbers that gives us 3283. So, the average is 853 and there are 5 numbers so we would do 853 X5 which equals 4265. and $4265-3283 =982 so 982 would the weekly pay of the other employee
