Question

if the average of 2 numbers is 88.5 and one number is 5.5 less than the average then what will be the second number

Answer 1

let us take 2 numbers x and y the avg of these 2 numbers is 88.5. one number is 5.5 less than the avg. then the second no is

x is 88.5-5.5=83
as the avg is (x+y)/2
then
(83+y)/2=88.5
then 83+y =177
then y=177-83=94
y is equal to 94
