The average weight of 89 notebooks in a box is 8.9 kg. When a new notebook is added, its average is 9 kilograms. Find the weight of the new notebook. (In kg)

Solution

Average weight of 89 Notebooks in a box = 8.9 kg

Let weight of new book = $$x$$ kg

=> New average = $$\frac{792.1+x}{90}=9$$

=> $$792.1+x=90\times9=810$$

=> $$x=810-792.1=17.9$$ kg
