Question

a criket player scored 180 runs in the first match and 257 runs in the second match .Find the number of runs he should score in the third match so that the average of runs in the three matches be 230.​

Answer 1

Since, the average of runs should be 230. ∴ The cricket player should score 253 runs in the third match.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = Sum of the numbers/ the number of numbers

For example the average of 2,4 and 6 is

(2 + 4 + 6)/3 = 4

So now let the third number be x. Then,

$\frac{180 +257+x}{3} =230$

So now,

(437 + x)/3 = 230

Multiplying 3 on both sides we get,

437 + x = 690

x = 253

Hope this helps
