Average of July - Sep (let's represent the months as J, A and S) is 180.
So J + A + S = 180*3 = 540 ----- eqn (1)
Average of Aug - October (let's represent the months as A, S and O) is 185.
So A + S + O = 185*3 = 555 ----- eqn (2)
170 were present in October, so O = 170.
Substituting for O in eqn(2), A + S + 170 = 555, so A + S = 555 - 170 = 385 --- (3)
Now, substituting for (A+S) in eqn (1)
J + (A+S) = J + 385 = 540, so J = 540 - 385 = 155.
No. of workers in July =
