A company has six employees.The salary of five of the employees are P2200,P1300,P800,P940 and P560.When the sixth employee is in
Dafna1 [17]

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.  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.  In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two.  We can figure this out.

(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100  multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/

7000 +2x = 8800  Subtract both sides by 7000

2x = 1800  Divide both sides by 2

x = 900
