11. In a group of six young pupils the mean weekly amount of pocket money is £5. When a new pupil joins, the mean weekly pocket money increases to £6. What does the new pupil receive each week ?

£12

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we know that the mean is calculated by dividing the sum of the numbers by the count of the numbers.

Now, when they were 6 and the mean is £5, this means that the total is simply

6 * 5 = £30

Now, when a new student join, there is an increase in the value of the mean.

A new student joining means they are now 7 with the total now 7 * £6 = £42

Now the difference between the total of 6 and 7 will be £42 - £30 = £12

This value represents what the new pupil receive each week

x + 4/7
