The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 37. What is the sum of the highest and the lowest number? |
8 74 41 66 |
74 |
Let 'a' be any odd number Sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers = 37 {\(\frac{a + (a+2) + (a+4)+ (a+6)+ (a+8)}{5}\)} = 37 5a + 20 = 185 5a = 165 a = 33
Sum = Lowest Number + Highest number Sum = a+(a+8) Sum = 33+33+8 = 74 |
