Question

7 students have 6, 3, 8, 10, 1, 4, and 8 chocolates respectively. They decide to share their chocolates with 13 more students. How many chocolates will each student get?

• A. 1 chocolate each
• B. 1.5 chocolates each
• C. 2 chocolates each
• D. 2.5 chocolates each

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2 chocolates each

Average= $\frac{\text{Sum of terms}}{\text{Number of terms}}$

Average= $\frac{6+3+8+10+1+4+8}{20}$

Average= $\frac{40}{20}$ = 2

$\therefore$ Each student gets 2 chocolates.
