Average of A , B , C , and D 's salaries = $ 1 0 0 0 0
We know,
Average = sum of elements ÷ # of elements
∴ A + B + C + D = $ ( 1 0 0 0 0 × 4 ) = $ 4 0 0 0 0 ——— (1)
Average of A , B , C = $ 1 2 0 0 0
∴ A + B + C = $ ( 1 2 0 0 0 × 3 ) = $ 3 6 0 0 0 ——— (2)
Average of A and B 's salaries = $ 1 5 0 0 0
∴ A + B = $ ( 1 5 0 0 0 × 2 ) = $ 3 0 0 0 0 ——— (3)
A 's salary = $ 2 0 0 0 0 ——— (4)
Insert (4) into (3):
B 's salary = $ ( 3 0 0 0 0 − 2 0 0 0 0 ) = $ 1 0 0 0 0
Insert (3) into (2):
C 's salary = $ ( 3 6 0 0 0 − 3 0 0 0 0 ) = $ 6 0 0 0
Insert (2) into (1):
D 's salary = $ ( 4 0 0 0 0 − 3 6 0 0 0 ) = $ 4 0 0 0
