Answer 1

Answer:

The average number of pounds they bought was 30 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the average number of pounds, add the total number of pounds for each boy and then divide by the number of boys.

so

$\frac{(30+40+10+40)}{4}=\frac{120}{4}=30\ pounds$

therefore

The average number of pounds they bought was 30 pounds.
