You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the average (arithmetic mean) of a series of numbers is 20, and the sum of these numbers is 160, how many numbers are in the series?
------
If there are n numbers and their mean is 20, sum/n = 20
sum = 160
-------
Equation:
20n = 160
n = 8 (# of numbers in the series)
