Answer:
88
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question:
The average of 10 numbers is 85.
We have to find the total sum for the 10 numbers
Hence: 10 × 85 = 850
If the numbers 70 and 76 are removed from the set of numbers.
This means 10 number is reduced by 2
= 10 - 2 = 8
The total sum of the 8 numbers is
= 850 - (70 + 76)
= 850 - 146
= 704
The average of the remaining numbers is calculated as:
Sum of the 8 numbers/8
= 704/8
= 88.
Therefore, the sum of the remaining numbers is 88
