Answer:
C. $97
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of his wage for all 15 days is the sum of all wages for the 15 days divided by 15.
average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15
The amount of wages during a number of days is the product of the average wage of those days and the number of days.
First 7 days:
average wage: $87
number of days: 7
total wages in first 7 days = 7 * $87/day = $609
Last 7 days:
average wage: $92
number of days: 7
total wages in last 7 days = 7 * $92/day = $644
8th day:
wages of the 8th day is unknown, so we let x = wages of the 8th day
total wages of 15 days = (wages of first 7 days) + (wages of 8th day) + (wages of last 7 days)
total wages of 15 days = 609 + x + 644 = x + 1253
average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15
average wage for 15 days = (x + 1253)/15
We are told the average for the 15 days is $90/day.
(x + 1253)/15 = 90
Multiply both sides by 15.
x + 1253 = 1350
Subtract 1253 from both sides.
x = 97

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step answer:
Since the question can be solved easily with a calculator, it is assumed that no calculators are allowed.
13*379 is the same as (10+3)*379
Applying distributive law, we then solve
10*379 = 3790
3*379 = 1137
Adding the two, we get
4927
Alternatively, we can calculate the product by long multiplication to get also 4927.
To check for mistakes, we use casting out nines
13 * 379 (add the digits, 1+3, 3+7+9)
4 * 19 (add the digits)
4*10 (multiply)
40 (add digits)
4
Add digits of 4927
4+9+2+7 = 22
add digits again
2+2 =4
the two match, so the likelihood of make arithmetic error is very low.
Note: using a calculator, the value is indeed 4927.
