The sum of four consecutive integers is 762. Find the fourth integer

Well, let's see:

-- Since their sum is 762, their average must be 762/4 = 190.5

-- Since they're consecutive, the first two pretty much have to be
less than 190.5 and the last two have to be more than 190.5 .

-- Now we can see how they have to line up: 189, 190, 191, and 192 .

The fourth one is 192 .

762/3=254... therefore, 762-254=508

So your fourth integer is 508
