• B. 1040.56
• C. 1015.56
• D. 1035.56

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1025.56

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

$52 \text{ books} \times \text{Rs } 1130/\text{book} = \text{Rs } 58,760$

$47 \text{ books} \times \text{Rs } 910/\text{book} = \text{Rs } 42,770$

Total Cost:

$\text{Rs } 58,760 + \text{Rs } 42,770 ={\text{Rs } 101,530}$

$\text{total books}= 52 + 47=99$

$\text{Average}=101530/99=1025.5555...\approx{1025.56}$
