The average of 13 numbers is 42. If a $$14^{th}$$ numberis included, then the average becomes 44. Whatis the $$14^{th}$$ number?

Solution

Average of 13 numbers = 42

Total of 13 numbers = 42 $$\times$$ 13 = 546

If 14th number is included , then the average becomes 44.

$$\frac{546 + x}{14} = 44 => x = 70$$
