Respuesta :

The given table is the following:

  Job          Salary   % of Employees
--------    ------------   ----------------------
Entry      $30,000      60%
Expert    $40,000      38%
CEO     $125,000        2%

Let n = total number of employees.

Entry:
Number  = 0.6n
Pay total = 0.6n*(30,000) = $18,000n

Expert:
Number = 0.38n
Pay total = 0.38n*(40,000) = $15,200n

CEO:
Number = 0.02n
Pay total = 0.02n*(125,000) = $2,500n

Total pay = 18,000n + 15,200n + 2,500n = $35,700n
Average salary = 35,700/n = $35,700

Answer: $35,700
