Answer 1

1073+1108+x/3=1000

answer is $819

Answer 2

Money earned by restaurant on Friday=$1073

Money earned by restaurant on Saturday=$1108

Let Money earned by restaurant on Sunday=$x

Average=$1000

`\text { average}=\frac  { sum of all the observation}{total number of observation}`

Number of observation=3

⇒ 3× 1000=1073+1108+x

⇒3000= 2 181+x

⇒3000-2181=x

⇒x=819

The restaurant needs to earn on Sunday to average $1000 per day over the three-day period=$819
