Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The average of 7 numbers is 14. If one number is added which is 10 more than the average, what will be the new average?
  • Step 1: Calculate the total of the 7 numbers using the average. Since the average is 14, multiply 14 by 7. This gives you 7 * 14 = 98.
  • Step 2: Determine the new number that will be added. The new number is 10 more than the average, which is 14 + 10 = 24.
  • Step 3: Add the new number to the total from Step 1. So, 98 (total of the 7 numbers) + 24 (new number) = 122.
  • Step 4: Calculate the new average. Now there are 8 numbers (the original 7 plus the new one). Divide the new total (122) by 8. So, 122 / 8 = 15.25.
