Montu stays in Japan with his friend Chotu. He got a job there. On the basis of his ability he earns at least 4800 Japanese yen per month for the entire year. He has earned as an average of 3000 yen for the first eleven months of the year. Then how much should he earn in the last month to achieve average for the whole year? Correct Answer 24600 yen

Given∶

Earning per month = 4800 yen

Average earning for first 11 months = 3000 yen

Formula Used∶

Sum of the observation = Average × No. of observations

Calculation∶

Earning per month = 4800 yen

Total earning in a year = 4800 × 12 = 57600 yen

Average earning = 3000 yen

Earning for 11 months = 3000 × 11 = 33000 yen

Now, salary for the last month = (57600 – 33000) = 24600 yen

∴ He earn 24600 yen in the last month.
