Why use 45 x (average number of individuals) instead of using 40 x the average if 40 was total # of samples?

I'm trying to solve a biostatistics/ecology question. Why use 45 x (average number of individuals) instead of using 40 x the average if 40 was total # of samples taken?
(This is when estimating the population size)
