      Question

      The average rainfall over a certain number of days was

      24 mm. On the next day, the rainfall was 60 mm and the average increased by 2 mm. Find the total rainfall before that day.
      A 408 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 430 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 390 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of days before be 'P'.

      Rainfall before = 24P

      (24P + 60) / (P + 1) = 26
      => 24P + 60 = 26P + 26
      => 2P = 34 => P = 17

      Total rainfall = 24 × 17 = 408 mm
