The average weight of each box in a consignment of 20 boxes of mangoes and 15 boxes of apples is 30 kg. If the average weight of a box of mangoes is 35 kg, then what is the average weight of a box of apples? |
$\frac{70}{3}$ kg $\frac{75}{2}$ kg $\frac{70}{5}$ kg $\frac{26}{5}$ kg |
$\frac{70}{3}$ kg |
Let average weight of a box of apple = A kg According to question , 20 × 35 + 15 × A = ( 20+15) × 30 700 + 15A = 1050 15A = 350 A = \(\frac{70}{3}\) So , average weight of a box of apple = \(\frac{70}{3}\) kg |
