Question

The average of two numbers is 22. If one of the number is 17, what is the other number?​

Answer 1

The other no. is

27

Average no = sum of no divided by total no.

x + 17/2=22

x + 17 = 44

x = 27

Answer 2

Here the average of two numbers is given to be 22

Also, one of the two numbers is given to be 17

We have to find the other number

Let the other number be x

So, sum of numbers = 17 + x

total numbers = 2

Average = sum of numbers/total numbers

   22 = (17 + x)/2

   44 = 17 + x

      x = 44 - 17

      x = 27

Hence, the other number will be 27
