DAY 109
The average age of 10 people is 20. When Mr. Dee Krepit is added to the group, the average age is 25. How old is Dee?

Answer:

Dee is 75 years old..........for the average age of ten people to be 20, their ages must add up to 200. For eleven people to average 25, the total ages must be 11 x 25 = 275.
