Question

The gross earnings of 6 employees in a picture framing shop for a week were: $620, $524, $715, $670, $588, and $675. What was the average amount earned for the week by these employees?

Answer 1

We have the gross earnings of the 6 employees. To obtain the average amount earned for the week by these employees we need to sum all the gross earnings and divide the result by 6 (the total of employees). Then, we have:

`(620+524+715+670+588+675)/6_{}_{}`

Then, we have:

`A=(3792)/(6)\Rightarrow A=632`

Then, the average amount earned for the week by these employees was $632.
