A nice rule says: the number of integers from x to y inclusive equals y - x + 1
So, the number of integers from 20 to 50 inclusive = 50 - 20 + 1 = 31
Since the values are EQUALLY SPACED, the average value = the average of the least and greatest values.
So, the average = (50 + 20)/2 = 35
So, there are 31 numbers with an average value of 35
The sum = (31)(35)
= 1,085
Answer: B
Cheers,
Brent
