Verified Answer
- Core Answer & Context: This is a problem involving averages. Let M, T, W, and Th represent the temperatures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, respectively.
- Given: (M + T + W) / 3 = 75°C => M + T + W = 225°C (Equation 1)
- Given: (T + W + Th) / 3 = 77°C => T + W + Th = 231°C (Equation 2)
- Given: Th = 76°C.
- Substitute Th into Equation 2: T + W + 76 = 231 => T + W = 231 - 76 = 155°C.
- Substitute (T + W) into Equation 1: M + 155 = 225 => M = 225 - 155 = 70°C.
- Relevant Statutes and Sections: Not applicable (This is a mathematical problem).
- Important Landmark Cases: Not applicable (This is a mathematical problem).
- Clear Conclusion: The temperature on Monday was 70°C.
