The average score of the class is 85. The average score of the highest and lowest scores is 91.5. What is the average of the remaining scores?
-------------------------
Known points total of high and low:: 2*91.5 = 183
-----
Let the number in the class be "x".
Total points for the class is 85x.
Average of remainins members of class = (85x-183)/(x-2)
=====
Note: You did not post the total number of students in the class.
If you know it, that is "x".
