Question

Cricket player Dhoni average in first 30 matches was 72 runs.After 31st match his average raised as 73 runs.How many runs did he make in 31st match?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dhoni scored 103 runs in the 31st match.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 30 matches = 72

Total runs scored in 30 matches = 72 × 30

                                                       = 2160

Let he scored X runs in the 31st match

Average of 31 matches = 73

Therefore, total runs of 31 matches = 73 × 31

                                                           = 2263

Thus,

2160 + X = 2263

or, X = 2263 - 2160

        = 103

Therefore, Dhoni scored 103 runs in the 31st match.

Hope this helps.
