~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
If the average donation of 9 students was $12, it means that the total amount of donation 
of these 9 students was  9*12 = 108 dollars.


Since the average donation of 5 of the students was $16, their total donation was 5*16 = 80 dollars.


Hence, the total donation of remaining 4 students was  108 - 80 = 28 dollars.


It means that the average donation of these 4 students was  28/4 = 7 dollars.    <U>ANSWER</U>
