The average temperature in Orlando in a particular week was 60 degrees. If the temperature on each of the first 3 days in that week was 40, and the temperature for Thursday and Friday was 80 degrees each, calculate the total temperature of the remaining days of that week.
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
If the average temperature of Orlando for the week was 60, then the total temperature for the week was 7 * 60 = 420 degrees. For the first three days of that week, the temperature was 40 degrees each day, totaling 3 * 40 = 120 degrees in the three days. The temperature for Thursday and Friday was 80 degrees each, a total of 80 * 2 = 160 degrees. The temperature of Orlando for the first five days was 160 + 120 = 280 degrees. The temperature for the remaining two days is 420 - 280 = 140 degrees.
Thus, the answer is 140.
