The average of eleven numbers is 8 if twelfth number is added to these numbers the average of all twelve numbers is now 11 what is the twelfth number

Respuesta :

If the average of eleven numbers is 8 if twelfth number is added to these numbers the average of all twelve numbers is now 11.

The twelfth number is 44.

According to the question

Let x represents the sum of the eleven numbers and y be the twelfth number.

The average of the eleven numbers is 8 means:

x/11 = 8

Multiply both sides by 11

(x/11) × 11 = 8  × 11

x = 88

The average of all twelve numbers is 11 means:

(x + y)/12 = 11

Substitute x = 88 into the last equation

(88 + y)/12 = 11

Multiply both sides by 12

[(88 + y)/12] × 12 = 11 × 12

(88 + y) = 132

y = 132 - 88

y = 44

Hence,

If the average of eleven numbers is 8 if twelfth number is added to these numbers the average of all twelve numbers is now 11.

The twelfth number is 44.
