Thank you much Ms. Sue and META.
You're welcome.
To find William's average monthly pay for the 12 months, we need to calculate the total earnings over the 12-month period and divide it by 12.
For the first 10 months, he earned $3,200 per month as a teacher. So, his earnings from September to June would be $3,200 x 10 = $32,000.
For the next 2 months, he earned $2,000 per month as a barista. So, his earnings for July and August would be $2,000 x 2 = $4,000.
To find his total earnings for the 12 months, we add up the earnings from the two periods: $32,000 + $4,000 = $36,000.
Finally, we divide the total earnings by 12 to find the average monthly pay: $36,000 / 12 = $3,000.
Therefore, William's average monthly pay for the 12 months is $3,000.
Therefore, the answer is E. $3,000.
