If the mean of 22, 25, 27, 24 and x is 26, then the value of x is:

Correct option is A

Given:

​$$\text{The mean of the numbers 22, 25, 27, 24, and } x \text{ is } 26.$$​​

Formula Used:

​$$\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Number of values}} \\$$​​

Solution:

​$$\text{Substituting the values:} \\\ \\26 = \frac{22 + 25 + 27 + 24 + x}{5} \\\ \\26 = \frac{98 + x}{5} \\\ \\130 = 98 + x \\\ \\x = 130 - 98 \\\ \\x =\bf 32$$
