Question 472044
Average is the sum of n numbers divided by n.
Then the sum of n numbers is the average multiplied by n.
Let x be salary of 6th employee
Here is the equation for the average of the 6 employees:
{{{(35000(5) + x)/6 = 41000}}}
Solve for x:
Multiply by 6 on both sides
{{{35000(5) + x = 246000}}}
Subtract 35000*5 on both sides
{{{x = 71000}}}
Therefore, the 6th employee makes $71,000
