You can put this solution on YOUR website! average equals the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
This equal can be looked at as
where a is average, s is sum, and n is the number of values.
For example there are 3 sisters. that means 3 age values so n will be 3.
The average age of the sisters is 25, that is a.
and the sum of the sisters ages is 26 + 21 + x where x is the unknown age of the third sister.
solve for x
The third sisters age is 28.
