A kiosk has different brands of chips. 70% of the stores’ sales are from selling potato chips, 30% of the sales are from other chips and wafers. Every quarter, the store’s sales on average are Rs. 12,00,000. What are their approximate average monthly sales of potato chips? Correct Answer Rs. 2,80,000

Given:

 70% of the stores’ sales are from selling potato chips

30% of the sales are from other chips and wafers

Average sales at every quarter = Rs12,00,000

Concept used:

average = Sum of elements/number of elements

Calculation:

Average sale per month = 12,00,000/3 = 4,00,000

Required average monthly sale of potato chips = 70/(70 + 30) × 4,00,000 = Rs. 2,80,000

∴ The required average monthly potato sales is Rs2,80,000.
