The average of 25 numbers is 150. One more number is added and the new average became 160. What is that new number?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 410.

The average of 25 numbers is 150.

Sum of 25 numbers = 25 × 150 = 3750

One new number is added, and the average becomes 160.

Sum of 26 numbers = 26 × 160 = 4160

New number = 4160 - 3750 = 410

The new number added is 410.
