During a donation drive week of school, students determined to donate an average sum of ₹8,000 on each working day of the School, collectively (there was no holiday in the donation week except Sunday). From Monday to Friday, they collected ₹7,230, 26,435, 26,927, 26,855, and 26,562, respectively. How much must they collect on Saturday to meet their target?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹13,991.
Total target donation = 6 × 8000 = 48000
Total from Monday to Friday = 7230 + 6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 6562 = 34009
Amount needed on Saturday = 48000 - 34009 = 13991
Therefore, the students must collect ₹13,991 on Saturday to meet their target.
