Total bicycles = 25.
Given:
A trader purchased some bicycles, The average price per bicycle was 190. The average price of 10 bicycle was 175 and that of remaining bicycles it was 200.
To find:
Number of bicycles purchased
Solution:
Let the number of bicycles purchased be x,
We have to calculate total price of bicycles.
Total price of all bicycles = Average price of one bicycle * Total number of bicycle = 190 * x = 190x
Now, we have to calculate total price of 10 bicycles
Total price of 10 bicycles = Average price of 10 bicycles * 10
= 175 * 10 = 1750
Remaining bicycles = Total bicycles - 10
= x - 10
Now, we have to calculate price of remaining bicycles.
Price of remaining bicycles = Average of remaining bicycles * Remaining bicycles= 200 * x-10 = 200(x-10)
Now, we can calculate the value of x by forming an equation,
Total price of bicycles = Price of 10 bicycles + Price of remaining bicycles
190x = 1750 + 200(x-10)
190x = 1750 + 200x - 2000
190x = 200x - 250
200x - 190x = 250
10x = 250
x = 250/10 = 25
Hence, total number of bicycles is 25.
