%28A%2BB%2BC%2BD%2BE%2BF%2BG%2BH%2BI%2BJ%2BK%29%2F11=32
A%2BB%2BC%2BD%2BE%2BF%2BG%2BH%2BI%2BJ%2BK=352
89%2B98%2B173%2BD%2BE%2BF%2BG%2BH%2BI%2BJ%2BK=352
The sum of the remaining 8 numbers is,
D%2BE%2BF%2BG%2BH%2BI%2BJ%2BK=-8
The average of the remaining 8 numbers is,
%28D%2BE%2BF%2BG%2BH%2BI%2BJ%2BK%29%2F8=-8%2F8=highlight%28-1%29
