Q 65 Mathematics Averages

3 boxes have some average weight. When one box which weighs 89 kg is replaced by another box, the average weight increases by 5 kg. How much does the new box weigh?

A

104 kg

B

94 kg

C

109 kg

D

99 kg

View answer & explanation Ans: 104 kg

Correct Answer: 104 kg

Since the average of 3 boxes increases by 5 kg, the total weight increases by 3 * 5 = 15 kg. Thus, the new box is 89 + 15 = 104 kg.
