Question

The average of three odd successive numbers is equal to 219. What is the largest of the three numbers?

Answer 1

Answer: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

221 is the largest number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd number be 'x'

Second odd successive number = 'x + 2'

Third odd successive number = 'x + 4'

(x + x + 2 + x + 4)/3 = 219

3x + 6 = 219×3

3x = 657 - 6

x = 651 /3

= 217

First odd number = 217

Second odd successive number = 217 + 2

= 219

Third odd successive number = 217 + 4

= 221
