Question

The average of 5 integers is 60. If the average of 3 of these integers is 67, what is the greatest possible value that one of the other two integers can have? 

A.98.5

b.100

c.99

d.98

e. can't be determined 

Answer 1

The average of 5 integers is 60

 

(a+b+c+d+e)/5 = 60

a+b+c+d+e = 300

 

The average of 3 of the numbers is 67

(a+b+c)/3 = 67

a+b+c = 201

 

d+e = 300 - (a+b+c)

d+e = 300-201

d+e = 99

 

The greatest possible value either of the two other

numbers can be is 99.   This would mean the last

2 numbers are 99 and 0
