In a retail outlet, the average revenue was Rs.10,000 per day over a 30 day period. During this period, the average revenue on weekends (total 8 days) was Rs. 20,000 per day. What was the average daily revenue on weekdays?
To find the average daily revenue on weekdays, we can follow these steps:
First, calculate the total revenue for the 30 days period where the average revenue is Rs.10,000 per day: Total Revenue = 30 days × Rs. 10,000/day = Rs. 300,000
Determine the total revenue earned on weekends. Given that the average weekend revenue is Rs.20,000 per day over 8 days: Total Weekend Revenue = 8 days × Rs. 20,000/day = Rs. 160,000
Now, compute the total revenue for the weekdays by subtracting the total weekend revenue from the total revenue over the 30 period: Total Weekday Revenue = Total Revenue - Total Weekend Revenue = Rs. 300,000 - Rs. 160,000 = Rs. 140,000
Finally, find the average daily revenue on weekdays. There are 22 weekdays in the 30 day period (30 days - 8 weekend days): Average Daily Weekday Revenue = Total Weekday Revenue / Number of Weekdays = Rs. 140,000 / 22 days ≈ Rs. 6364
Thus, the average daily revenue on weekdays is approximately Rs. 6364.
