The sum of four even consecutive numbers is 100. What is the difference between the smallest and the largest number?
Let 1st even number be E
2nd even number: E + 2
3rd even number: E + 4
4th even number: E + 6
They sum to 100, so set the numbers equal to 100, and solve for the least even number, or E.
Do a check!!
Calculate the difference between the largest and smallest.
