    Question

    The average salary of a company's eight employees is $6000 per year. If the average salary of the first 4 employees is $5500 and the average salary of the next 2 employees is $7000, what is the average salary of the remaining 2 employees to maintain the company's average salary?

    A.

    $5500

    B.

    $6000

    C.

    $4200

    D.

    $7300

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Average salary of all 8 employees = $6000
    Average salary of the first 4 employees = $5500
    Average salary of the next 2 employees = $7000
    Solution:
    Total salary of all employees = 8 × 6000 = 48000
    Total salary of first 4 employees = 4 × 5500 = 22000
    Total salary of next 2 employees = 2 × 7000 = 14000
    Remaining salary for the last 2 employees = 48000 − (22000 + 14000)
    = 48000 - 36000 = 12000
    Average salary of last 2 employees = 120002\frac{12000}{2} = 6000
    Thus, The average salary of the remaining 2 employees is $6000.
