Question

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 505.What is the third number in this sequence ?

Answer 1

Answer: 101

Explanation:

1st integer: x

2nd integer: x + 1

3rd integer: x + 2

4th integer: x + 3

5th integer: x + 4

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 505

5x + 10 = 505

5x = 495

x = 99

3rd integer: x + 2 = (99) + 2 = 101
