Question

Wendy baked 45,21,2445,21,24 and 5757 cupcakes for her bakery shop from Monday to Thursday respectively. She did not bake any cupcakes for the rest of the week. What was the average number of cupcakes she baked per day in that week?

Answer 1

I need a quick clarification — the list you gave ("45,21,2445,21,24 and 5757") has six numbers but you said "Monday to Thursday" (four days). Which amounts were baked on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday?

If you meant the likely four numbers 45, 21, 24 and 57 (one per day Mon–Thu), then:
- Total baked = 45 + 21 + 24 + 57 = 147
- Average per day in the 7-day week = 147 ÷ 7 = 21 cupcakes/day

If you actually meant the six numbers 45, 21, 2445, 21, 24, 5757 (baked on six days) then:
- Total = 45 + 21 + 2445 + 21 + 24 + 5757 = 8313
- Average per day in the 7-day week = 8313 ÷ 7 ≈ 1187.57 cupcakes/day

Tell me which numbers/days are correct and I’ll give the exact answer.
