Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
A class of 30 students has an average score of 75. If a new student joins and the average becomes 76, what is the score of the new student?
Correct Answer: 106
Step 1: Calculate the total score of the original 30 students. Multiply the average score (75) by the number of students (30). So, 30 * 75 = 2250.
Step 2: Calculate the new total score after the new student joins. Multiply the new average score (76) by the new total number of students (31). So, 31 * 76 = 2356.
Step 3: Find the score of the new student by subtracting the original total score (2250) from the new total score (2356). So, 2356 - 2250 = 106.
