Jean is a customer service rep and answered 35 phone calls on Monday. On Tuesday, she answered 46 and took 27 calls on Wednesday. On Thursday she answered 61 calls and finished off answering 31 calls on Friday. What’s the average number of calls she answers per day? Let's be accurate as possible.
During the week she answered 35 on Mon, 46 on Tue, 27 on Wed, 61 on Thurs and 31 on Fri for a total of 35 + 46 + 27 + 61 + 31 = 200 calls. She answered 200 calls over 5 days so on average, she answered 200 / 5 = 40 calls a day.
The answer: 40.
