Pujara has a certain average of runs for his 8 matches in Border Gavaskar Trophy. In the ninth match he scores 100 runs and thereby increases his average by 9 runs. His new average of runs is:

• let his average run in 8 matches be x
  total runs for 8 matches = 8x
  total runs for 9 matches = 8x+100
  average runs for 9 matches = (8x+100)/9
  (8x+100)/9 = x + 9
  8x+100 = 9x + 81
  x= 19
  new average = 19+9 = 28

• New average=28
  If the Total runs in 8 matches=x and average=x/8
  then (x+100)/9 = x/8 +9 or x=152
  New average=(152+100)/9=28 runs
