Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. September's temperature fluctuated severely in 1 week. They started off with 40 degrees on Sunday then hit 50 on Monday, 65 on Tuesday, 36 on Wednesday, 82 on Thursday, 72 on Friday and ended the week at 26 on Saturday. What was the average temperature for that week?
When you add up the temperature for the entire week, it comes to 40 + 50 + 65 + 36 + 82 + 72 + 26 = 371. These temperatures were over 7 days so the average temperature was 371 / 7 = 53 degrees.
The final answer: 53.
