For 4 weeks a man's average wage was 8200 per week. For the next 7 weeks his average wage was 7600 per week. What was his average weekly wage for the 10 weeks

Answer 1

To find the average weekly wage for the 10 weeks, we first need to calculate the total earnings for each period of time.

For the first 4 weeks:
Total earnings = 8200 per week * 4 weeks = 32800

For the next 7 weeks:
Total earnings = 7600 per week * 7 weeks = 53200

Now, to find the total earnings for the 10 weeks:
Total earnings = 32800 + 53200 = 86000

Finally, to find the average weekly wage for the 10 weeks:
Average weekly wage = Total earnings / 10 weeks = 86000 / 10 = 8600

Therefore, the man's average weekly wage for the 10 weeks was 8600.
