The average weight of some animals on a farm is 40 kg when 2 new animals joined the average is increased by 0.5 kg. If the weight of those 2 animals is 45 and 51 kg, find the total number of animals present initially. Correct Answer 30
Given:
Average of animals = 40 kg
Calculation:
Let the number of animals = a
⇒ Sum of weight of animals = 40 × a = 40a
According to question,
40a + 45 + 51 = (a + 2) × 40.5
⇒ 0.5a = 15
⇒ a = 30
∴ The total number of animals present initially = 30
