      Question

      Average number of pages in 54 books is 240. Two more

      books with pages (b + 20) and (b - 8) are added, and the average becomes 242. Find (b - 100).
      A 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 190 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      56 × 242 − 54 × 240 = b + 20 + b − 8
      2b + 12 = 13,552 − 12,960 = 592
      2b = 580
      b = 290
      b − 100 = 290 – 100 = 190
