Add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers you added together.
(39 + 27 + 11 + 15 + 6) / 5 = 19.6

Step 1 -- Add together the numbers. In this case, 39+27+11+15+6 = 98 That is called the sum.
Step 2 -- Count how many numbers there are that you are trying to get the average of. In this case there are 5 numbers.
Step 3 -- Divide the sum by the number of numbers. 98/5=19.6
So the sum of 39, 27, 11, 15 and 6 is 19.6 (or 20 if you need to round up to the next whole number.)

To find the average, add the numbers and then divide the result by the number of numbers.
For example, 39+27+11+15+6=93
You've added 5 numbers, so divide 93 by 5.
That gives an average (or mean) of 19.6.

Add up the individual quantities (39 + 27 + 11 + 15 + 6) and divide by the number of of them (in this case 5). so the answer would be 98 divided by 5 or 19.6

Add the numbers up and divide by the number of values you added together. In this case 39+27+11+15+6 and divide the total by 5.

This isn't advanced at all. It's basic algebra. You add them all up and divide by the number of you added, in this case 5.
39+27+11+15+6 = 98
98/5 = 19.6

Add the numbers, then divide by the number added. ie the average of 2 and 6 is four because 8 divided by 2 is 4b
