A park had an average of 30 children playing on weekdays and an average of 60 children playing on weekends. Find the average number of children playing per day in the park for June beginning with a Saturday.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 40.
We know that,
Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations
According to the given question,
If the week starts with Saturday, the number of Saturdays in one month is 5
And, the number of days in weekends of a month = 10 days (Saturday + Sunday)
Total number of children on weekends = 10 × 60 = 600
The number of weekdays(excluding weekends) = 30 - 10 = 20 days
Total number of children on weekdays = 20 × 30 = 600
Total number of children in one month = 600 + 600 = 1200
Now,
The average number of children in one month = = 40
