Average Race Time for Swimmer A

Very Hard Word Problems Number Operations

In a competitive swimming event, 5 swimmers competed in individual races and relay races. Each swimmer swam a total of 8 races, and each race has both an individual and a relay component. After the races, it was found that swimmer A completed his 8 races in a total of 32 minutes, swimmer B took 36 minutes, swimmer C took 40 minutes, swimmer D took 30 minutes, and swimmer E took 38 minutes.
If the average time taken by all five swimmers across their individual races is to be calculated, how much time did swimmer A take on average for each individual race assuming all swimmers took the same amount of time for their individual races?
Consider that the individual races make up 60% of the total race time.
