One number is 16 more than the other and their average is 60. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the unknown number is 87 the number which is 16 more than it is 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one unknown number be x

According to। the question,

one number is 16 more than unknown number = x + 16

Average = 60

We know that average = sum of all numbers/ total numbers which are added

= x + x + 16/3 = 60

= 2x + 16/3 = 60

= 2x + 16 = 180

= 2x = 180-16

= 2x = 174

= x = 87

Hence the unknown number is 87

and the number which was 16 more than x is 87 + 16 = 105
