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
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.
