To find the missing tip earnings, we need to use the mean earnings of $46 over 8 nights of work.
Total earnings over 8 nights = $46 * 8 = $368
Total tip earnings including the missing one = $35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 + x (missing tip earnings)
Add all known tip earnings:
$35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 = $327.13
Now, we can find the missing tip earnings by subtracting the total earnings over 8 nights from the total of all known tip earnings:
$368 - $327.13 = $40.87
Therefore, the missing tip earnings is $40.87.
Total earnings over 8 nights = $46 * 8 = $368
Total tip earnings including the missing one = $35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 + x (missing tip earnings)
Add all known tip earnings:
$35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 = $327.13
Now, we can find the missing tip earnings by subtracting the total earnings over 8 nights from the total of all known tip earnings:
$368 - $327.13 = $40.87
Therefore, the missing tip earnings is $40.87.
