Average age of 100 turtles is 120 years. Average of 60 of them is 80 years. What is the average of remaining forty turtles?  Correct Answer 180 years

Given,

Average age of 100 turtles = 120 years

Average age of 60 turtles = 80 years

Formula:

Average = Sum of all observations / total number of all observations

Calculation:

Sum of age of 100 turtles = 120 × 100 = 12000 years

Sum of age of 60 turtles = 60 × 80 = 4800 years

Sum of age of remaining 40 turtles = 12000 - 4800 = 7200

∴ Average age of remaining 40 turtles = 7200 / 40 = 180 years
