If the average of 5 numbers is 50, what is their sum?

Question

please tell me through details

Answer 1

The average of 5 numbers equals 50.

When averaging, you total all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers.

So, you have 5 numbers when added up then divided by 5 equals 50.

X/5 = 50

multiply both sides of the equation by 5

You get X = 50 x 5

Or X = 250

Answer 2

Average=(sum of the 5 numbers)/5 , 50=sum/5 , sum=5*50=250

Answer 3

a set of 5 numbers { 30 40 50 60 70 80 }. The sum is 250. The average is 250 divided by 5 = 50

Answer 4

Well, as you may or may not know, finding the average is adding all the numbers together and dividing by how many numbers there are total. So if the average of five numbers is fifty, then it looks like this, first, I'll show you a general form:

(sum)/(# of terms) = average

Now we fill it in:

(sum)/5 = 50

Now we have to move the 5 over to the other side to see how much the sum is, to do this, we just multiply both sides by 5:

sum = 50*5 = 250

And there you go.

Answer 5

Their sum is 250. 250 divided by 5 is 50. To get the average, you add the numbers and then divide them by the amount of numbers you started with.

Answer 6

(a+b+c+d+e) / 5 = 50

=> a+b+c+d+e = 50 x 5 = 250.

Answer 7

The average of n numbers is their sum divided by n.
So sum/5 = 50
sum = 250.

Answer 8

Call the five numbers a, b, c, d and e. Then:

a + b + c + d + e)/5 = 50
a + b + c + d + e = 5 * 50
a + b + c + d + e = 250

Answer 9

250.

those five no.s youve been given when shared out equally between 5 people (for example) give an average of 50.

so each person receives 50 (the average)
there are 5 people - each receives 50 -
50 x 5 = 250.

Answer 10

250. The average is expressed as x/5=50, therefore when you multiply both sides of the equation by 5 you get x=250.
