An art gallery is open for 6 days of a week except Thursday. The average sales of the paintings per day for first 3 days of the week is Rs. 17380 and the average sales of the paintings per day for last 3 days of the week is Rs. 23120. Find the average sales (approx.) of the paintings for the whole week. Correct Answer Rs. 17357
Given:
Average sales for first 3 days = Rs. 17380
Average sales for last 3 days = Rs. 23120
Formula Used:
Average = Total sales/Number of paintings
Calculations:
Average sales for first 3 days = Rs. 17380
⇒ Total sales for first 3 days = Rs. 17380 × 3 = Rs. 52140 ----(1)
Average sales for last 3 days = Rs. 23120
⇒ Total sales for last 3 days = Rs. 23120 × 3 = Rs. 69360 ----(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
Total sales = Rs. (52140 + 69360) = Rs. 121500
Average sales for 1 week = Rs. 121500/7
⇒ Average sales for 1 week = Rs. 17357.14 ≈ Rs. 17357
∴ The average sales of the paintings for the whole week is Rs. 17357.
