Problems on Average:
1. The average salary of all the workers in a workshop is 6000. The average salary of 8 technicians is 10000 and the average salary of the rest is 2000. The total number of workers in the workshop is:
Solution:
Let the total number of workers be x.
6000x = 10000*8 + 2000*(x-8)
[Note: Remaining workers = x-8]
6000x = 80000 + 2000x – 16000
4000x = 64000
x = 16.
2. In an examination, a pupil’s average marks were 70 per paper. If he had obtained 30 more marks for his Science paper and 5 more marks for his Maths paper, his average per paper would have been 75. How many papers were there in the examination?
Solution:
Let the number of papers be x.
70x+ 30+ 5 = 75x
35 = 5x
x =7.
