Question

14. The average salary of 9 officers in an office is a
1050. If average salary of 8 officers
is 980, what is the salary of the 9th officer ?​

Answer 1

Answer:1610

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total salary of first 8 officers be x,

and let the salary of 9th officer be y,

we get that $\frac{x}{9} =980$                         (GIVEN)

=> X=980*8

=> X=7840

=> $\frac{7840+Y}{9}$=1050                             (GIVEN)

=> 7840+Y=9450

=> Y=9450-7840

=> Y=1610

                          ∴  the salary of the 9th officer is 1610
