Answer 2

Answer:

Average after 16th inning is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Run scored in 16th inning = 64

Average increased by 3.

To find: his average after 16th inning.

Let x be the average in 15 innings.

$\frac{Sum\:of\:15\:innings}{15}=x$

⇒ Sum of 15 innings = 15x

According to the Question,

$\frac{15x+64}{16}=x+3$

15x + 64 = 16( x + 3 )

15x + 64 = 16x + 48

16x - 15x = 64 - 48

x = 16

Average after 16th inning = 16 + 3 = 19

Therefore, Average after 16th inning is 19.
