The monthly average salary of 6 employees and one manager is ₹18,000. If the manager earns ₹30,000, what is the average salary of the 6 employees?
- ₹ 16,800
- ₹ 17,000
- ₹ 16,000
- ₹ 15,600
Correct answer: ₹ 16,000
Solution
The total salary of 7 people is 7 × 18,000 = ₹1,26,000. Subtracting the manager’s salary gives ₹96,000 for the 6 employees. Their average salary is ₹96,000 ÷ 6 = ₹16,000.
