Averages
sachine has certain average for 9 innings.in the tength innings he scores 100 thereby increasing his average by 8 runs..thus the new average is
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- Let "x" be the total , nd "y" be the avg till 9th innings
then x/9 = y =====> x = 9y ---->(1)
x + 100/ 10 = (y + 8)
x + 100 = 10y +80
9y + 100 = 10y + 80
y = 20
Avg till 9th innings = 20
After 10th innings = 20 + 8 = 28
So new average = 28 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- 28
Let the average be x
(9x+100)/10 = x+8
x = 20
new average = x+8 = 28 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- New average is 28
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- x/9=y
x=9y
now (x+100)/10=y+8
(9y+100)/10=y+8
9y+100=10y+80
y=100-80
y=20
so new avg=y+8=20+8=28 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- according to the equation
(x+100)/10=(x/9)+8
on solving x(i.e..avg upto 9 innings) =180
so new avg = (180+100)/10 =28 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
