Question

During the annual function of a school, a Women’s Self-help Group had set up a snacks stall. Their sales every hour were worth Rs 960, Rs 830, Rs 945, Rs 800, Rs 847, Rs 970 respectively. What was the average of the hourly sales?

Answer 1

Average hourly sales \(=\frac{\text{sum of sales every hour}}{\text{number of hours}}\)

\(=\frac{960 + 830 + 945 + 800 + 847 + 970}{6}\)

\(=\frac{5352}{6}\)

= Rs 892

∴ The average of the hourly sales was Rs 892.
