The number that was left out is 70.

<h3>What is the number that was left out?</h3>

Average is the sum of a set of numbers divided by the total numbers in the data set.

Average = sum of numbers / total numbers

Sum of numbers when there are 8 numbers = 56 x 8 = 448
Sum of numbers when there are 7 numbers = 54 x 7 = 378
Difference = 448 - 378 = 70
