First, we can represent the numbers as n and n + 1 = 25

<h2>n + n + 1 = 25</h2><h2 /><h2>Next, we can combine like terms.</h2><h2 /><h2>2n + 1 = 25</h2><h2 /><h2>Subtract 2 from both sides.</h2><h2 /><h2>2n = 24</h2><h2 /><h2>2n ÷ 2 = n</h2><h2>24 ÷ 2 = 12</h2><h2 /><h2>If we know that 12 is n, n + 1 would be equal to 12 + 1 so the largest consecutive number is 13.</h2>

Assume the larger number is $x$
another number is $x-1$
their sum would be $x+(x-1)$ which equals 25
$x+(x-1)=25$
$2x=26$
$x=13$
ans:13

Here all employees get equal amount as bonus, so the standard deviation of the employees income won't change.
if you subtract or add equally to all the data then standard deviation won't change but mean and median would change.
