Solution:

Number of bags sold in shop A = x

Number of bags sold in shop B = y

Number of bags sold in shop C = z

The average number of bags sold in shop A and shop B = 190 

(x + y)/2 = 190 = 2 ×  190 = 380

The average number of bags sold in shop B and shop C is 210

(y + z)/2 = 210 = 2 ×  210 = 420

The average number of bags sold in shop A and C is 220

(x + z)/2 = 220 = 220 ×  2 = 440

2(x + y + z) = (380 + 420 + 440)

2(x + y + z) = 1240

(x + y + z) = 620

Number of bags sold in shop B = 620 - 440 = 180
