I don’t get this. Can any help me

The average is the sum of the observations divided by the count.
So the sum of the observations is the count times the average.
So the 9 teachers together make 9(1000)=$9000 per week. The 20 staff (9 teachers + 11 aps) makes 20(1275)=25500.
So the 11 aps must make 25500-9000=16500
So the mean ap salary is 16500/11 =$1500 per week
Clearly management is where it's at.
Check: (1500*11+1000*9)/20 = 1275 good
