Question 59
The average of seven numbers is 9. If each number is multiplied by a number P, then the average becomes 36. What is the value of P?
Solution
The average of seven numbers is 9.
The sum of seven numbers initially = $$9\times7$$ = 63 Eq.(i)
If each number is multiplied by a number P, then the average becomes 36.
The sum of seven numbers when each number is multiplied by a number P = $$36\times7$$ = 252 Eq.(ii)
Eq.(i) $$\times$$ P = Eq.(ii)
$$63\times P = 252$$
Value of P = 4
