Six people are standing in line for concert tickets. Their average age is 27. the average age of the first four people in line is 23. The average age of the last three people is 34. How old is the fourth person in line?
Answers
Total age 6 * 27 162
Subtotal age of first 4 4 * 23 92
Subtotal of last 3 3 * 34 102
In the total of the first 4 and last 3 the 4th person has been counted twice. This second time must be subtracted.
Therefor 92 + 102 - x = 162 194 - x = 162
Subtract 194 from both sides -x = -32
Multiply both sides by -1 x = 32
