Question 988016: the average price of 12 goats and 12 sheeps is rs 600.if the price of sheep is twice that of a goat. find the total price of 3 goats and 2 sheeps Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
Let the price of 1 goat be rs x.
Then the price of 1 sheep is 2x rs.
the average price of 12 goats and 12 sheeps is rs 600
So 12x + 12(2x) = 600
12x + 24x = 600
36x = 600
x =
x = rs
So the average price of a goat is rs
And the average price of a sheep is 2 times rs. which
is rs.
Therefore 3 goats sell for 3 times or 50 rs
Therefore 2 sheep sell for 2 times or rs.
rs.
