Answer:
First answer is 1200
Second answer is 900 for each new employee
Step-by-step explanation:
First answer:
2200+1300+800+940+560+x = 7000
5800+x = 7000 subtract 5800 from both sides and you get your answer
x = 1200
Second answer:
x = 900. Â Each of the two employees made 900 a month or 1800 a month for both of them.
To find the average we take the total salaries and divide by the number of people to find the average salary. Â In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two. Â We can figure this out.
(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100 Â multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/
7000 +2x = 8800 Â Subtract both sides by 7000
2x = 1800 Â Divide both sides by 2
x = 900
