Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- 25.375
New avg.=(Total age of 14 person-age of two person of 42 each)/12
=(14*27.75-2*42)/12=(388.5-84)/12=304.5/12= 25.375 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- average age of 14 persons = 27 years 9 months = 27.9
so the total age of 14 persons = (27.9)*14 = 390.6
i.e, a+b+c+d+....+l+m+n = 390.6
a+b+c+d+....+l+42+42 = 390.6
a+b+c+d+....+l = 390.6-84
a+b+c+d+....+l = 306.6
so here we can say that
the total age of 12 persons = 306.6
so the average age = (306.6/12)
the average age = 25.55
so the new average is 29 years and 7 months - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
