See a solution process below:

The average is calculated using the formula: #A = s/i# Where: #A# is the average - what we are being asked to solve for. #s# is the sum of the values of the items. For this problem: #s = ($4.50 xx 6) + $5.20# #s = $27.00 + $5.20# #s = $32.20# #i# is the number of items being average - 7 for this problem. Monday to Saturday is 6 plus Sunday makes 7 Substituting and calculating #A# gives: #A = ($32.20)/7# #A = $4.60# Peter spent an average of $4.60 Monday to Sunday

#$4.60#

So, he spends #$4.50# from Monday to Saturday, the total amount he spends is

#$4.50 xx "6 days" = $27#

#$27 + $5.20 "(that he spends on Sunday)" = $32.2 # To find the average

#($32.2)/(7("number of days in a week")) = $4.60#

The average money he spends is #$4.60#.

I hope this helps

undefined To find the average amount of money Peter spent per day from Monday to Sunday, we first calculate the total amount he spent from Monday to Saturday, which is $4.50 \times 6 = $27$. Then, we add the amount he spent on Sunday, which is $5.20. Next, we divide the total amount he spent from Monday to Sunday by the total number of days, which is $7$. Therefore, the average amount of money he spent per day from Monday to Sunday is $(27 + 5.20) / 7 = $4.74$.
