IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$10,800

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Your answer is that she needs to earn $148 on Friday

Calculate Average:

(67 + 82 + 78) / 4 = 56.75    (Remember 67 is worth Monday and Tuesday)

We know that the number that the 4 numbers add up to has to be divisible by 5 because our we need to average 75 and we have 5 days to average on.

5 x 75 = 375

67 + 82 + 78 = 227

375 - 227 = 148

(67+82+78+148) / 5 = 75

Your answer is that she needs to earn $148 on Friday
