One of four monthly-read rain gauges on a catchment area develops a fault in a month when the other three gauges record 37, 43 and 51 mm respectively. If the average annual precipitation amounts of these three gauges are 726, 752 and 840 mm respectively and of the broken gauge 694 mm, estimate the missing monthly precipitation at the latter.
