Question

The mean wages of 216 workers is Rs 79. If one worker
left, the mean was calculated again and was found
to be Rs 8. Find the wages of the worker which had left​

Answer 1

Answer:◆ Answer -

Wage of worker who had left = -566 Rs (practically impossible).

● Explanation -

Wage of all 216 workers is 216×79 = Rs. 17064.

Let x be wage of 1 worker who had left.

Wage of the remaining 216-1 = 215 workers is Rs. 82.

Wage of 215 workers is 215×82 = Rs. 17630.

Wage of worker who had left is 17064-17630 = -566 Rs.

Hence, our answer is -566 Rs (which is practically impossible but hey that's what your data says).
