A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991.

5 consecutive months sale is 6435+6927+6855+7230+6562=34009.
So Avg of 5 numbers is,
34009%5 = 6,801.8.
Then to get avg sale 6500 in the 6th month.
From the options.
a) 4991--->34009+4991 = 39000.
(39000%6 )= 6500.
So Avg of 5 numbers is,
34009%5 = 6,801.8.
Then to get avg sale 6500 in the 6th month.
From the options.
a) 4991--->34009+4991 = 39000.
(39000%6 )= 6500.
