Question

The average weight of the three lion cubs at the zoo was 288 pounds. Two of the cubs weighed 261 and 252 pounds. What was the weight of the third cub?

​

Answer 1

351 pounds

Explanation:

288 x 3 = 864 pounds

864 - 261 - 252 = 351 pounds

Therefore (261 + 252 + 351)/3 = 288.

So the answer is 351 pounds
