The average of 6 numbers is 10. If the average of 4 numbers is 12, then what is the average of the remaining 2 numbers?
----
The 6 numbers add up to 6*10 = 60
The 4 numbers add up to 4*12 = 48
---
The remaining 2 numbers must add up to 60-48=12
---
So the average of the remaining 2 numbers is 12/2 = 6
