Answer» let sum of age of 30 students of class = x then AVERAGE of these 30 students = x / 30 also average given = 18 so x/30 = 18 solving for x gives = 18 * 30 x=540 let sum of age of NEW 10 students = y average of these 40 students = (x+y) / 40 also average of these 40 students = 19 putting value of x = (540 + y) / 40 solving for y = (540 + y) / 40 = 19 540+y = 40 * 19 540 + y = 760 y = 220 then average of these 10 students = ( sum of their age) / 10 average = y/10 average = 22 |
