Question

The average score of a cricketer in three matches is 22 runs and in two other matches it is 17 runs. Find the average in all the five matches

Answer 1

Answer:

average of three matches = 3*22=66

average of two matches = 2*17= 34

average of five matches =  (66+34)/ 5  = 100/5 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The average score of a cricketer in three matches is 22 runs and in two other matches it is 17 runs.

To Find,

The average in all 5 matches.

Let the Sonu played X inning before this inning

Then his total runs= 16*X

Sonu total run after the 22 runs innings = 16*X + 22

Total innings = X+1

Now,

Average After 22 runs ininng = (16*C+22)/X+1

And we know his average is now 17

Then,

(16*X+22)/(X+1) = 17

Now,

16*X+22= 17X+17

We get,

X = 5

So,

Total run before this ininng = 16*5= 80

For AVG 20 total runs after 6 ininng should be 6*20= 120

Runs require in last ininng = 120 -80 = 40 runs

If he will make 40 runs instead of 22 runs his average will be up to 20.
