the average (arithmetic mean) of 10 exam grades is 87.if the highest and lowest grades are removed from the set, the average of the remaining 8 exam grades is 90. what was the average of the 2 exam grades that were removed?
Let h = the high grade
let L = the lowest grade
the other 8 average 90
the equation
%28L+%2B+8%2890%29+%2B+h%29%2F10 = 87
multiply both sides by 10
L + 720 + h = 870
L + h = 870 - 720
L + h = 150
therefore: 150%2F2 = 75 is the average of the 2 removed grades

circle A has a circumference of 4pi, and circle b has a circumference of 8pi. if the circles intersect at two points , what is a possible distance from the center of circle A to the center of circle B?
Find the radius of Circle A
2pi%2Ar = 4pi
2r = r
r = 2
Find the radius of Circle b
2pi%2Ar = 8pi
r = 4
:
Place A's center on the circumference of b, the centers would be 4 units apart

If the average of 10 scores is 87, then the sum of all 10 scores must be 10 times 87. Likewise, if the average of 8 of those scores is 90, the sum of those 8 scores must be 8 times 90. The sum of the two scores that were removed must be the sum of the 10 scores minus the sum of the 8 scores.
