A baker sells pastries for $5 and works 7 days a week. On Monday he sold 2. Every day the number of sales increases by 1 compared to the previous day. On average, how many pastries does he sell on each day of the week?
You know from the statement that on Monday he sells 2 pastries, so on Tuesday he sells 3, Wednesday 4, Thursday 5, Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 pastries.
So the average value is (2+3+4+5+6+7+8) pastries/7 days
The baker sells, on average, 35/7= <<35/7=5>>5 pastries/day for 1 week
