Re: The average (arithmetic mean) of three numbers is 100. [#permalink]
1
Theory: Average = \(\frac{Sum Of All The Values}{Total Number Of Values}\)

If the average (arithmetic mean) of 3 numbers is 100 and two of the numbers are 80 and 130
Let the third number be x
=> Sum of all the values= 80 + 130 + x = 210 + x

Using, Average = \(\frac{Sum Of All The Values}{Total Number Of Values}\), We get
100 = \(\frac{210 + x }{ 3}\) (dividing by 3 as there are 3 numbers)
=> 210 + x = 300
=> x = 300 - 210 = 90

So, Answer will be C
Hope it helps!
