Problem of the Week
Problem C
An Average Error

At POTW Farms, Maggie is responsible for collecting eggs each day. She recorded the number of eggs collected each day for one week, and then calculated that the average number of eggs collected in one day that week was \(77\). When she double-checked the number of eggs she recorded for each day, she noticed that she had recorded \(18\) eggs on Wednesday. However, she had actually collected \(81\) eggs.

What is the corrected average number of eggs collected in one day for that week?
