Kanchan bought 52 books for Rs 1130 per book from one shop and 47 books for Rs 905 per book from another. What is the average price (in Rs) he paid per book ?

Correct option is D

Given:

52 books at ₹1130 each

47 books at ₹905 each

Formula Used:

Average Price = $$\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Number of Books}}$$​​

Solution:

Total Cost = (52 × 1130) + (47 × 905)

= 58760 + 42535

=101295

Total Books = 52 + 47 = 99

Average Price = $$\frac{101295}{99} \approx 1023.18$$​​
