Average cost price decrease because of selling in loss?


My mother invests, and yesterday she noticed that after a selling a share, her cost price decreased? Her invested amount also decreased more than it should have.

Details:

Original Cost price: 440
Quantity: 300
Invested amount: 132000

After selling 99 shares at 421.85, her details were as follows:

Average cost price: 400
Quantity: 201
Invested amount: 80000, 1000 give or take

Based on some basic maths, her average cost price should have been 450 after, and invested amount 90000, but it's not.

How?
