Given:

Number of items = 10

Average cost = Rs. 89

Cost of one item = Rs. 35

Formula:

Average = Total/Number of items

Solution:

Total cost of 10 items = Average × Number of items = 89 × 10 = Rs. 890

Total cost of 9 items = Total cost of 10 items - Cost of one item = 890 - 35 = Rs. 855

Average cost of 9 items = Total cost of 9 items/Number of items = 855/9 = Rs. 95

Therefore, the average cost of the remaining 9 items is Rs. 95.
