      Question

      The average rainfall recorded over the first three days

      of a week was 85 cm, whereas the average for the last three days was 92 cm. If the weekly average rainfall was 88 cm, determine the rainfall on the third day.
      A 50 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 85 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total rainfall for the first three days = 85 × 3 = 255 cm

      Total rainfall for the last three days = 92 × 3 = 276 cm

      Total rainfall in the entire week = 88 × 7 = 616 cm

      Rainfall on the third day = {(255 + 276) – 616} = 85 cm
