Question

An orchestra of 25 members bought tickets, at all different prices, to a concert, and the mean price paid was $82. A new musician joined the orchestra and spent $90 on his ticket to the same concert. What is the new mean price paid when the new musician is included? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$82.31

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the total amount of money paid

$82 * 25 = 2050$

Next, add the new price for the new total

$2050 + 90 = 2160$

Now divide by total members (25 +1 = 26)

$2160 / 90 = 82.31$
