,Question 5
In the stock market, four different stocks have an average price of $100 per stock. The
price of a Drone stock is $70. What is the average price of the three other stocks (not
including the Drone stock)?
A. 107
B. 110
C. 112
D. 117 E.
Cannot say
Correct Answer
The correct answer is (B). In order to calculate an average, we have to know the sum
of the individual values, and the number of individuals. We know that there are four
different stocks, so the number of individuals is four (Number of individuals). Now,
find the sum of the prices of all the stocks (Sum of the individuals' value). We can
calculate the sum of the group's value with the average of the values:
Sum of all the values
------------------------ = Average
Number of Values
Let's insert the figures that we know into the formula.
Sum of all values
---------------------- = 100 Dollars
4
Sum of all values = 400 Dollars
The average of the 4 stock prices is $100, and therefore the sum of the stock prices
is $400.
If the value of the Drone stock is $70, we can conclude that the sum of the
remaining three stock prices is $330. If the value of three of them is $330, the
average price is $110.
Quick tip: If an average is provided followed by the number of values, the sum of
the values can be calculated. The sum is calculated as follows:
Number of values X Average=Sum of the values.
