Q:

The average of the first four numbers is three times the fifth number. If the average of all the five numbers is 85.8, then the fifth number is:

 A) 33 B) 34 C) 39 D) 29

Explanation:

Let the fifth number be x.
The average of the first four numbers = 3x
Sum of all the first four numbers = 3x = 12x
The average of all the five numbers = 85.8
Sum of all the five numbers = 85.8 5 = 429
Sum of all the first four numbers + 5th number = 429
12x + x = 429
x = 429/13 = 33
The 5th number is 33.
