Answer 2

Answer:

Required average amount earned by per boy is 78.5 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,three boys earned a total of Rs 235.50.

Here we want to find average amount of earning of each boy.

But now question is what is average?

Let x and y be two numbers then average of x and y will be $\frac{x + y}{n}$

We can say average = $\frac{sum \: of \: numbers}{count \: of \: those \: numbers}$
