Question 1
The average age of 5 people is 27. If Luke (age 42) leaves and a new person joins, the average becomes 28. Find the age of the new person.
Initial total = 27 × 5 = 135
After Luke leaves: 135 - 42 = 93
New total = 28 × 5 = 140
New person's age = 140 - (93) = 47
After Luke leaves: 135 - 42 = 93
New total = 28 × 5 = 140
New person's age = 140 - (93) = 47
