The average age of four players is 18.5 years. If the age of the coach is also included, the average age increases by 20%. The age of the coach is?
Correct Answer: 37 years
Explanation:
New average = 120% of old average
=120% of 18.5
= (120 x 18.5) / 100
= 22.2 Age of coach = Total weight of 4 players and coach - total weight of 4 players
= 5 x 22.2 - 4 x 18.5
