Question

Visitors to a show were charged Rs 14 on the first day, Rs. 12 on secondday and Rs. 10 third day. The attendance of three days was in the ratio 1:2: 5. Find the average charge per person for the whole show.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have attendance of three days in the ratio 1 : 2 : 5

let us take x people visited on a first day.

then 2x people visited on a second day.

and 5x people visited on third day.

Hense , total visitors visited = x + 2x + 5x

= 8x

Total amount of money spent 14 people who visited on first day =

$14 \times x = 14x$

Total amount of money spent 12 people who visited on second day =

$12 \times 2x = 24x$

Total amount of money spent 10 people who viksited on third day =

$10 \times 5x = 50x$

Total amount of money spent by 8 people =

14x + 24x + 50x = 88x

Average money spent by each person =

$\frac{total \: money \: spent}{total \: persons \: visited} \\ = \frac{88x}{8x} \\ = 11$

Rs. 11
