To find the average of numbers, you need to add them together and divide by the number of items:


To find the average of a, b, and c, you would add them together and divide by three: (a+b+c)/3 = average.


For your problem you will add Tom's score + Bill's score + Susan's score + Sandy's score and then divide by the number of people - 4.


(132+140+145+128)/4 = 136.25


So, their average score is 136.25, but if your teacher is asking for a whole number, you will round to 136.
