Let the average after 17th inning = x
Sum of 17th inning = 17x
Then average after 16th inning = x-3
Sum of 16th inning = 16(x-3)=16x-48
According to the question
16x-48+87 =17x
-48 + 87 = 17x -16x
x = 39
Sum of 17th inning = 17x
Then average after 16th inning = x-3
Sum of 16th inning = 16(x-3)=16x-48
According to the question
16x-48+87 =17x
-48 + 87 = 17x -16x
x = 39
