Question

in 3 1/2 months John collected a debt of $70.00. What was the average amount of debt John collected per month?​

Answer 1

The average amount of debt John collected per month is $20/ month

Explanation:

total debt collected by John, = $70.00

total number of months, = 3 1/2 months = 7/2 months

The average amount of debt John collected per month is given by;

`Average \ amount \ per \ month = (Total \ amount \ of \ debt)/(total \ number \ of \ months) \\\\Average \ amount \ per \ month =(70)/(1) *((2)/(7) )\\\\Average \ amount \ per \ month = \$20 \ / month`

Therefore, the average amount of debt John collected per month is $20/ month
