According to the given data we have the following:

19 employees that earn $360

18 employees that earn $400

8 employyes that earn $480

5 employees that earn $600

The total employees would be=19+18+8+5=50

Therefore, to find the average we have to put at the numerator the amount of wages times of what correspond to each employee, and at the denominator the total of employees which are 50. Therefore, the expression that represents the average wages the company pays per employee each week would be 2.
