Directions: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below.

What is the difference between the average amount of wheat and the average amount of sugar consumed by all the restaurants together?

• A. 145 kg
• B. 160 kg
• C. 155 kg
• D. 150 kg
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 160 kg

Total consumption of wheat

= (600 + 800 + 550 + 600 + 750) kg

= 3300 kg

Average consumption

$=\frac{3300}{5}=660kg$

Average consumption of sugar

$=\frac{600+550+350+500+500}{5}kg$

$=\frac{2500}{5}=500kg$

Required difference = 660 - 500 = 160 kg
