Question

If the average of two positive integers is 11 and their product is 40, what is their sum?

Answer 1

The product doesn't matter. If the average of two is 11 the sum of the two is 22 because the average is the sum divided by the count.

Answer: 22

Answer 2

22 is their sum.

The two numbers are 2 and 20.

To find the average, add all numbers together and divide by the amount there is

(20 + 2)/2 = (22)/2 = 11

Multiply the two numbers together

20 x 2 = 40
