The third number is 17

Average

The average of numbers is the mean value of the numbers

The given parameters are:

  • Average = 25
  • Numbers = 18 and 40

Assume the third number is x

So, the average is calculated as:

[tex]Average = \frac{\sum x}{3}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\frac{18 + 40 + x}{3} = 25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{58 + x}{3} = 25[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]58 + x = 75[/tex]

Subtract 58 from both sides

[tex]x = 17[/tex]

Hence, the third number is 17
