Answer

$\$2950$ per month

Work Step by Step

We are given the arithmetic mean which is $\$3210$ and we know one employee earns $\$3470$ so we have to find the other employee's salary using the arithmetic mean formula: Arithmetic mean=$\dfrac{x+y}{2}$ where $x$ represents one employee's salary and $y$ represents the other employee's salary. $3210=\dfrac{3470+y}{2}$ $3210(2)=3470+y$ $6420=3470+y$ $6420-3470=y$ $2950=y$ Thus, the other employee earns $\$2950$ per month.
