      Question

      Average weight of 50 boxes is 22 kg. Two more boxes of

      weights (z + 7) and (z - 5) are added and the average becomes 22.5 kg. Find (z - 18).
      A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      52 × 22.5 − 50 × 22 = z + 7 + z − 5
      2z + 2 = 1170 − 1100 = 70
      2z = 68
      z = 34
      z − 18 = 34 – 18 = 16
