Lauren earns $3.75 per hour as an usher. In 5 days her tips were $19.75, $25.30, $18, $21.50, and $18.50. Find Lauren’s average daily tips and use them to predict her earnings for a 37-hour workweek in which she works 4 days. (In other words, how much would she earn for a 37 hour 4-day workweek?)

First find the average tips. 19.75+25.3+18+21.5+18.5=103.05. then divide by 5 which equals $20.61. Then multiply that by four to get an estimate of how much money she will earn in tips. This is $82.44. Then take 3.75 and multiply by 37 which equals 138.75. Add the 82.44. She will earn $221.19.
