Hello!
I hope this helps you. Have a great day!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the five numbers be a, b, c, d, e.
Averge of all five is 5
=> ( a + b + c + d + e ) / 5 = 5
=> a + b + c + d + e = 25 (**)
Average of first four is 4
=> ( a + b + c + d ) / 4 = 4
=> a + b + c + d = 16 (++)
Subtracting equation (++) from equation (**) gives:
e = 25 - 16 = 9

Let the fifth number be x
Let the average of first four numbers ( let them be a, b, c, d) = a+b+c+d/4 =4
=> a+b+c+d=4x4=16
Average of all numbers=5
=> a+b+c+d+x/5=5 (send denominator 5 to the other side)
=>(a+b+c+d) +x=5x5=25
=>(16) +x=25
=> x=25 - 16
=>x=9
This is the answer
