the average weight of the top 5 fish caught at a fishing tournament was 12.3 pounds. Some of the weights of the fish are shown in the table. What was the weight of the heaviest fish?

You would average backwards. 12.3x5 =61.5 and then you subtract the weights of the fish. Once you have all 5 weights decide what the heaviest weight is :)
