Default Centre of gravity calculation

Could someone be good enough to check the CG calculation as per the sketch below.

Tapered wing with straight trailing edge.
Root chord 450mm
Tip chord 250mm
Mean chord = 350mm
25% Cg = 25% of 350 =87.5 mm plus distance from mean chord to leading edge = 100 =187.5mm behind leading edge?

Thanks you mathematicians!
