Question 4

The average salary of a group of 27 is Rs. 3,700. If the salary of one more person is added, the average is increased to Rs.3750. What is the salary of the new person ?

Solution

Average salary of 27 people = Rs. 3700

=> Total salary of 27 people = $$3700\times27=Rs.$$ $$99,900$$

Let the salary of new person = Rs. $$x$$

According to ques,

=> $$\frac{99,900+x}{28}=3750$$

=> $$99,900+x=3750\times28$$

=> $$x=1,05,000-99,900=5100$$

$$\therefore$$ Salary of the new person = Rs. 5100
