How can you calculate the total amount of minutes in 80 weeks? How does this help?

The 80 weeks is made up of two blocks. The 55 week period, where you already know the mean / total, and the 25 week period, where you don't know the mean/total. Add that together and you get 80 weeks, which you do know the mean and you can calculate the total. So if you want to get the number of minutes in 25 weeks what do you do?

Its probably not the most logical method haha but i was thinking of doing 1060 + x all divided by 80 and make that equal to 21...

I got x=620 and then i divided by 25 to get 24.8 as the mean time. Is that right?
