If the arithmetic mean of seventy-five numbers is calculated, it is 35. If each number is increased by 5, then mean of new number is _____?
Answer: 40
Explanation
A.M=Sum/total
A.M. of 75 numbers = 35
Sum of 75 numbers = 75 * 35 = 2625
Total increase = 75 * 5 = 375
Increased sum = 2625 + 375 = 3000
Increased average = 3000/75 = 40
