Question

A grocer has a sale of Rs. 2000, Rs.
3000, Rs. 4000, Rs. 5000 and Rs.
6000 for 5 consecutive months. How
much sale must he have in the sixth
month so that he gets an average
sale of Rs. 6500?
Rs. 15,000​

Answer 1

Answer: A) 4991

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 34009]

= Rs. (39000 - 34009)

= Rs. 4991.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (2000 + 3000 + 4000 + 5000 + 6000) = Rs. 20000

Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 20000]

= Rs. (39,000 - 20,000)

= Rs. 19,000
