Let a be 1st,
b be 2nd, c be 3rd, d be 4th and e be 5th. number.

a+b+c+d = 60 x 4 = 240

a+b+c+d +e = 80x5 = 400

So, 240 + e = 400

e = 160

Hi, DSS & Yukyuk,

Thank you so much for your quick answer.

I also use the same method with yours & get the same answer, i.e. 160.  But the correct answer is 20, not 160.   I really don't understand, so will ask my son to check with his teacher tomorrow.  Will update you once get the reply from teacher.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

Re: P4 Maths - Please help. Thanks!

Please note that the question is asking for the fifth number.  Would the calculation be like this:

a+b+c+d = 60
a+b+c+d+e = 80

so by substitution:

60+e = 80
e = 80-60 = 20

So the fifth number is 20.

Please help for the Maths question below:

如果將 "average" 轉為 " total number" 就合理

The total number of 4 numbers is 60. The total number of 5 numbers is 80. What is the fifth number?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, DSS & Yukyuk,

The school teacher confirmed that the model answer was wrong.  Our method is right and the correct answer is 160, not 20.

Thanks for your help.
