Question

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 505.What is the third number in the sequence

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let 5 consecutive integers are x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4

According to the question,

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4 = 505

5x + 10 = 505

5x = 505-10

5x = 495

x = 99

the numbers are 99, 100, 101, 102, 103

hence the third number in the sequence is 101
