A supermarket has sales of ₹1,48,500, ₹2,00,000, ₹1,64,000, ₹1,88,600 and ₹2,40,400 in 5 consecutive months. How much sales should the supermarket have in the 6th month so that the average sales for these 6 months become ₹1,88,300?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Total sale of 6 months = 6 × 188300 = 1129800
Sum of sale of 5 months = 148500 + 200000 + 164000 + 188600 + 240400
= 941500
Sale of 6th month = 1129800 - 941500 = 188300
