Answer 1

The average number of pounds they bought was 30 pounds.

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the average number of pounds, add the total number of pounds for each boy and then divide by the number of boys.

so

`((30+40+10+40))/(4)=(120)/(4)=30\ pounds`

therefore

The average number of pounds they bought was 30 pounds.
