| − | The sum of the ages of the fifth graders is <math>33 * 11</math>, while the sum of the ages of the parents is <math>55 * 33</math>. Therefore, the total sum of all their ages must be <math>2178</math>, and given <math>33 + 55 = 88</math> people in total, their average age is <math>\frac{2178}{88} = \frac{99}{4} = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 24.75}</math>.
