A logic puzzle . Can you solve it .

The average age of a familyβ€”made up of two parents with kidsβ€”is 20. If you exclude one parent, who is 40, the average age drops to 15. How many kids are in the family?

import java.util.*; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { int age,avg1,avg2,n,child; Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter age of a parent,avg1,avg2\n"); age=sc.nextInt(); avg1=sc.nextInt(); avg2=sc.nextInt(); n=(age-avg2)/(avg1-avg2); child=n-2; System.out.println("No. of child="+child); } } https://code.sololearn.com/cSb1Vef8gwd6/?ref=app

we can think this problem like this: the 40-aged parent give each of others 5 ages to reach 20, then he (or she) can give 4 times, including another parent, so there are 3 kids

writing it as a code: public int Solution(ave1, ave2, age){ return (age - ave1)/(ave1 - ave2) -1 }

In total there are 5 persons in the family . Total age = 5*20=100 When you remove one parent Total age of 4 persons = 60 avg=60Γ·4=15
