Four whole numbers are each rounded to the nearest 10. The sun of the four numbers is 90. What is the maximum possible sum of the original four numbers?

Answer:

23.5

Explanation:

Because if you divide 94 by 4 then you get 23.5. You would divide 94 only because if it is 95 or above you must round it to a hundred if it is to the nearest 10. So it has to be 85 - 94 as the number divided because by anything else below or above would be rounded to 80 and lower and anything higher is 100 and higher.
