harold works at a resort from the beginning of march to the end of september . during the month of august this past year , he made 5 times the average ( arithmetic mean ) of his monthly totals in tips for the other months . his total tips for august were what fraction of his total tips for all of the months he worked ?
"the time from beginning of march to the end of september is 7 months . if x is the average monthly tip for all months other than august then his august month tip will be 5 * x his total tip for the 7 months = 6 * ( average tip for the months other than august ) + 5 x = 11 x august tips as a fraction of total tips = 5 ...
