The average of 8 numbers is 45. If each number is decreased by 4, what will the new average be?
41
The original average of the 8 numbers is 45.
When every number is decreased by the same amount, the average decreases by exactly that amount.
Each number is reduced by 4, so the new average is \(45 - 4 = 41\).
Hence, the new average is 41.
