1. The average temperature for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was 40°C. The average for Thursday, Friday and Saturday was 41° C. If temperature on Saturday was 42° C, what was the temperature on Wednesday?

Solution:
Average temperature for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday = 40° C
Total temperature = 3 × 40 = 120° C
Average temperature for Thursday, Friday and Saturday = 41° C
Total temperature = 41 × 3 = 123° C
Temperature on Saturday = 42° C
Now,
(Thursday + Friday + Saturday) - (Wednesday + Thursday + Friday) = 123 - 120;
Saturday - Wednesday = 3
Wednesday = 42 - 3 = 39° C
