In the problem it is already given that Weston Laundry washed 285.38 pounds of towel and 353.47 pounds of sheets from local hotels in 1 day. Firstly we have to find the total pounds of linens that Weston Laundry has washed in 7 days. Then only will it be possible to find the amount of linen washed in a day.

Then t

Total linen washed by Weston Laundry in 7 days = (285.38 + 353.47) pounds

= 638.85 pounds.

Then

The amount of linen washed by Weston Laundry in 1 day = 638.85/7

= 91.26 pounds

So Weston Laundry washed about 91.26 pounds of linen each day.
