- let average age of 10 student=x/10=14, x=140.if 5 more join then average age of 15 student=y/15=15,y=225. to calculate average age of new student=(y-x)/2=
(225-140)/2=17years - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- Total age of 11 students = 14 * 10 = 140 and the total age of 15 students = 15*15= 225
Let the average age of 5 new students be x.
Therefore total age of the new students = 5x.
Hence the total age of 15 students = 140 + 5x = 225 => x = 17. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- LET AVERAGE OF 10 STUDENTS IS T/10=14 =>T=140
if 5 more join (i.e LET IT BE 'Y')the average rises by a year i.e (T+Y)/15=15
from this Y=225-140
Y=85
Now, the average age of Y is (Y/5)=>85/5=17years - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
