Answer:

88

Explanation:

From the question:

The average of 10 numbers is 85.

We have to find the total sum for the 10 numbers

Hence: 10 × 85 = 850

If the numbers 70 and 76 are removed from the set of numbers.

This means 10 number is reduced by 2

= 10 - 2 = 8

The total sum of the 8 numbers is

= 850 - (70 + 76)

= 850 - 146

= 704

The average of the remaining numbers is calculated as:

Sum of the 8 numbers/8

= 704/8

= 88.

Therefore, the sum of the remaining numbers is 88
