The way you would do this problem is:
Find the sum of the first three numbers (x) then find the sum of the next 7 numbers (y), add these two sums together (x+y) and divide the lot by the total number of numbers, which is 10, ().

( sum of 1st 3 numbers )/3 = 9
sum of 1st 3 numbers = 27
and
( sum of next 7 numbers ) / 7 = 30
sum of next 7 numbers = 210
---------------------------
sum of all 10 numbers = 27 + 210
sum of all 10 numbers = 237
average of 10 numbers = 237/10
237/10 = 23.7
