Question 15954: The average of twelve different positive inegers is 12. What is the greatest possible value of any of these numbers?

To get an average of 12,sum of integers must be 144
144/12=12
If you add together the first 11 lowest integers i.e 1 to 11
it comes to 66
subtract this from 144
144-66=78
this is greatest possible value you are looking for.
