Question

The average temperature over a 10-day period in Phoenix was 98 degrees. For the first six days, it was sunny, and the average temperature was 100 degrees. Over the next 4 days, it was cloudy and the temperature dropped. What was the average temperature for those 4 days? Show work.

Answer 1

96

Explanation:

The average for the first 6 days was 100, and it ended up dropping overall by 2 for the average.

6 days=x/6=100

4 days=x/4=98/100

You can do 96+100/2 which is 98 degrees.
