To answer this question, we need to multiply all the individual salaries by the corresponding number of employees. Then, we need to add them all up. After that, we have to divide that total by the total number of employees.

Then, we have:

1. 14 *$20600 = 288400

2. 12 * $ 23900 = 286800

3. 17 * $ 25100 = 426700

4. 4 * $ 31100 = 124400

5. 5 * $ 39500 = 197500

6. 1 * $ 149100 = 149100

Then, we have that:

S = 288400 + 286800 + 426700 + 124400 + 197500 + 149100 = 1472900

Thus, the total is $1,472,900. Then, the total number of employees is:

14+12+17+4+5+1 = 53

Therefore, the mean salary for the employees is:


m=(1472900)/(53)\Rightarrow m=27790.5660

Then, rounding the number to the nearest hundred (100), we have that the mean salary for the employees is $27,800.
