Question

5. The average monthly salary among a firm's twelve employees is 3500 € There are two part-time workers in the firm who both earn 2500 €/month. If the salaries of these two part-time workers are excluded from the average, what will the new average salary be? a) 3700 € b) 4300 € c) 4000 € d) other​

Answer 1

Choice a) 3700 €

Explanation:

Total salary among 12 workers = Avg Salary x 12 = 3500 x 12 = 42,000 €

Total salary of 2 part-timers = part-time avg x 2 = 2500 x 2 = 5000

Total salary without part-timers salary= 42,000 - 5000 = 37,000 €

If we exclude the 2 part-timers, there are 10 full-timers who earn 37,000 €

So new Average Salary = 37000/10 = 3,700 €

answer: Choice a) 3700 €
