Ian Zander earns extra money by refinishing wood floors. His charge is based on the size and condition of the floor. Last month, he refinished 6 floors for $140 each, 2 floors for $220 each and 1 floor for $178. What average amount per floor did he earn for the month?

Sagot :

Answer:

Average per floor = 162 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

First find the number of floors

Then make a total   income received from those floors.

Then divide the total income by the number of floors, to get the average

Number of floors

Total number of floors = 6 + 2 + 1 = 9 floors

Total income

Total income = cost per floor * the number of floors.

Total income

6 * 140 =  840

2 * 220 = 440

1 * 178   = 178

Total    = 1458

Average income / Floor

Average income / Floor = Total amount / number of floors

Average Income / Floor = 1458 / 9 =  162
