SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 3 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

In June 2020, a salesman sold an average of 210 toys per day. If for the first 12 days, the average sales of toys per day were 180 and for the next 8 days, the average sales per day were 215, then what was his average sale (per day) of the toys for the remaining days of the month?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 242.

June 2020 has 30 days.

Total toys sold = 210 × 30 = 6300

First 12 days sales = 180 × 12 = 2160

Next 8 days sales = 215 × 8 = 1720

Total sales (first 20 days) = 2160 + 1720 = 3880

Average sales per day for the remaining days = 2420/(30 - 20) = 242
