Find sales on 3rd Day
A survey showed that average sales of a shopkeeper during last three days have been 45. If the sales on first and second day have been 34 and 5 find out the sales of third day.
vasudeo007

I believe this is not really an accounting question.The answer I think is- 96 units.Explanation: Average of last 3 days is 45 that means total sales 45x3= 135 units1st day sales is 34 and 2nd day 5. That means 135-(34+5) = 96 units.Correct me if I am wrong.
