You can put this solution on YOUR website! Average of three numbers is 88
The total of the three numbers = 88 * 3
= 264
The total of 92 + 96 = 188
264 - 188 = 76
Third number = 76
Hope this helps.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the third number be x, then
(92+96+x)/3=88 multiply each side by 3
92+96+x=264
92+96+x=264
188+x=264 subtract 188 from each side
x=76
