Question 68

The average age of a group of 36 students is 23 years. Four students with average age 22 years leave the group. What is the average age in years (correct up to one decimal place) of the new group?

Solution

Total age of 36 students = $$ 36 \times 23 = 828 $$

Total age of 4 students = $$ 4 \times 22 = 88 $$

When 4 students leave the group remaining 32 students

average age of 32 students = $$ \frac{828-88}{32} = 23.1 $$
