Formula:

Average of n numbers a1, a2 ... an = (a1 + a2 + ... an)/n

Calculation:

Two shops A and B sold crackers on Diwali on 3 days – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Average number of crackers shop A sold in 3 days = 21

Total crackers sold by shop A = 21 × 3 = 63

Similarly, total crackers sold by shop B = 25 × 3 = 75

Monday           Tuesday            Wednesday

A                           x                           2x

B                       x + 10                    2x - 1

Total for shop A = 63

Total for shop B = 75

A Monday = 63 -3x 

B Monday = 75 – (x + 10) – (2x – 1)     

75 – x – 10 – 2x + 1 – 63 + 3x = 3
