The average daily rainfall of town A is 105 for first 2 days of the week, 84 for next 3 days and 49 for the last 2 days of the week. The total weekly rainfall for town B is 455. What will be the average daily rainfall of both the towns together? Correct Answer 145
Given :
Total rainfall for Town B = 455
Average daily rainfall for first 2 days = 105
Total rainfall for first 2 days = 210
Average daily rainfall for next 3 days = 84
Total rainfall for next 3 days = 252
Average daily rainfall for last 2 days = 49
Total rainfall for last 2 days = 98
Formula used:
Average = Sum of all quantities/Total number of quantities
Calculations :
⇒ Total rainfall for Town A = 210 + 252 + 98 = 560
⇒ Average daily rainfall for Town A and B together = (560 + 455)/7
⇒ Average daily rainfall for Town A and B together = 1015/7
⇒ Average daily rainfall for Town A and B together = 145
∴ the average daily rainfall of both the towns together is 145.
