Question

A restaurant earns $1073 on Friday and $1108 on Saturday. Write and solve an equation to find the amount xx (in dollars) the restaurant needs to earn on Sunday to average $1000 per day over the three-day period.

Answer 1

1073+1108+x/3=1000

answer is $819

Answer 2

Money earned by restaurant on Friday=$1073

Money earned by restaurant on Saturday=$1108

Let Money earned by restaurant on Sunday=$x

Average=$1000

$\text { average}=\frac  { sum of all the observation}{total number of observation}$

Number of observation=3

                           ⇒  3×  1000=1073+1108+x

                            ⇒3000=     2 181+x

                              ⇒3000-2181=x

                            ⇒x=819

The restaurant needs to earn on Sunday to average $1000 per day over the three-day period=$819
