Given :
- Man sold 12kg tea at Rs 50/kg
- Man sold 18kg tea at Rs 40/kg
To find :
Average selling price of tea
Formula used :
Average = Sum of observation ÷ number of observation.
Solution :
Average selling price of tea = Total selling proce of tea ÷ total amount of tea.
Firstly we need to find total selling price price of tea.
➝ Total selling price of tea = selling price of 12kg tea at Rs 50/kg + selling price of 18kg tea at Rs 40/kg
- Selling price of 12 kg tea at Rs50/kg
➝ Selling Price of 12kg tea = 12 × 50
➝ Selling Price of 12kg tea = Rs 600
- Selling price of 18 kg tea at Rs 40/kg
➝ Selling Price of 18 kg tea = 18 × 40
➝ Selling Price of 18 kg tea = Rs 720
Therefore, total selling price = Rs 600 + Rs 720
➝ Total selling price of tea = Rs 1320

Total amount of tea = 12 + 18
➝ Total amount of tea = 30 kg

Average selling price of tea = Total selling proce of tea ÷ total amount of tea
➝ Average selling price of tea = Rs 1320 ÷ 30kg
➝ Average selling price of tea = Rs 44 /kg
