Question

During the annual function of a school, a Women’s Self-helf Group had set up a snacks stall. Their sales every hour were worth Rs 960, Rs 830, Rs 945, Rs 800, Rs 847, Rs 970 respectively. What was the average of the hourly sales?

Answer 1

Average hourly sale = $\frac{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{sale}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{hours}}$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{960+830+945+800+847+970}{6} \\ =\frac{5352}{6} \\ =892 \end{gathered}$$
Thus, the average of the hourly sale is Rs 892.
