This is a multiple choice question and the alternatives are as follows a. $960 b. $850 c. $240 and d.$720.

Answer 1

Get the total salary paid to these four magicians first.

Explanation:

Average is the sum of the weekly payments of these four magicians divided by 4.

Therefore, you can find Fumble's weekly salary by the following formula (F stands for Fumble's salary):

`240times4 = 280 + 270 + 300 + F`

`960 = 850 + F`

(960 US dollars: the total weekly payments of these four magicians).

`F= 960-850 = 110`

Fumble's weekly payment is 110 US dollars per week.
