2,640 / 3 = 880
100(880/2,640) = ______ %
I agree, but the question was not asking for a math calculation.
Any average of any set of N numbers should be 100/N percent of the sum. The question is asking do you know what average means?
The average of 90 numbers is 100/90 percent of the sum.
I took the GRE in the early 80's, that question was on the test. And a lot of similar math theory /definition questions...
To find the average of three numbers and express it as a percentage of their sum, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Add the three numbers together.
937 + 762 + 941 = 2640
Step 2: Calculate the average of the three numbers by dividing the sum by 3.
2640 ÷ 3 = 880
Step 3: Find the percentage by dividing the average by the sum and multiplying by 100.
880 ÷ 2640 × 100 = 33.33%
Therefore, the average of 937, 762, and 941 is 33.33% of their sum.
