The correct answer is
$40.83^{\circ}\text{ C}$

Average Temperature Calculation: Mon-Fri to Mon-Sat

We need to determine the new average temperature for the city covering Monday through Saturday. We are given the average temperature from Monday to Friday and the specific temperature for Saturday.

Total Temperature for Monday to Friday

First, calculate the sum of the temperatures from Monday to Friday. The average temperature for these 5 days is $40^{\circ}\text{ C}$.

Formula: Total Temperature = Average Temperature $\times$ Number of Days

Total Temperature (Mon-Fri) = $40^{\circ}\text{ C} \times 5$

Total Temperature (Mon-Fri) = $200^{\circ}\text{ C}$

Total Temperature Including Saturday

Next, add Saturday's temperature to the cumulative temperature from Monday to Friday to get the total temperature for the entire week (Monday to Saturday).

Saturday's Temperature = $45^{\circ}\text{ C}$

Total Temperature (Mon-Sat) = Total Temperature (Mon-Fri) + Temperature (Saturday)

Total Temperature (Mon-Sat) = $200^{\circ}\text{ C} + 45^{\circ}\text{ C}$

Total Temperature (Mon-Sat) = $245^{\circ}\text{ C}$

Calculating the Final Average Temperature

Finally, calculate the average temperature from Monday to Saturday. This is done by dividing the total temperature for the 6 days by the number of days (6).

Number of Days (Mon-Sat) = 6

Formula: Average Temperature = $\frac{\text{Total Temperature}}{\text{Number of Days}}$

Average Temperature (Mon-Sat) = $\frac{245^{\circ}\text{ C}}{6}$

Average Temperature (Mon-Sat)} $\approx 40.83^{\circ}\text{ C}$

The average temperature from Monday to Saturday is approximately $40.83^{\circ}\text{ C}$.
