Question:

The average weight of seven children is 35.6 kg. if three more children weighing 22.6, 18.9, 17.5 kgs are added to the group, what would be the new average weight in kilograms?

Options:

29.3

30.82

34.7

33.8

Correct Answer:

30.82

Explanation:

Less weight added:

35.6 - 22.6 = 13

35.6 - 18.9 = 16.7

35.6 - 17.5 = 18.1

Total less weight = 13+ 16.7 + 18.1 = 47.8

Total avg. decreased by = \(\frac{47.8}{10}\) = 4.78

New avg. weight = 35.6 - 4.78 = 30.82
