<PRE><B>Question 685737</B>
5 average office workers earn a total average monthly salary of $10,000.If the average salary of two of these workers total $13,000,what is the average monthly income of the remaining three workers?
---
Total earnings by 5 workers = 5*10000 = 50,000
---
Total salary of 2 workers = 2*13000 = 26000
----
Average of 3 remaining workers = (50,000-26000)/3 = 24000/3 = $8000
