Question

Average employee salary?

Answer 1

$67,680

Explanation:

average is calculated as

average =
`(sum)/(count)`

Denver

`(sum)/(137)` = 67,013 ( multiply both sides by 137 )

sum = 9,180,781

Anchorage

`(sum)/(25)` = 71,332 ( multiply both sides by 25 )

sum = 1,783,300

total sum for both = $9,180,781 + $1,783,300 = $10,964,081

then average salary across both companies is

average =
`(10,964,081)/(162)` = $67,680 ( to the nearest dollar )
