Question from jean, a student: the average of 9 is 54.if 84 and 90 are added to the set of numbers , what will be the resulting average? |
Hi Jean,
The average of 9 numbers is 54 so if you add the 9 numbers and then divide by 9 you get 54. Hence the sum of the 9 numbers must be 9 × 54 = 486.
Two more numbers, 84 and 90 are added to the list. What is the sum of all 11 numbers? What is their average?
If you need further assistance write back,
Penny
