The average of 25, 46 and *y* is 11. What is the value of *y*?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The average of three numbers 25, 46, and *y* is given as 11.

2. Use the formula for average:
   $$	ext{Average} = \frac{	ext{Sum of numbers}}{	ext{Number of numbers}}$$

3. Substitute the values:
   $$11 = \frac{25 + 46 + y}{3}$$

4. Multiply both sides by 3:
   $$33 = 25 + 46 + y$$

5. Calculate the sum of known numbers:
   $$25 + 46 = 71$$

6. So,
   $$33 = 71 + y$$

7. Solve for *y*:
   $$y = 33 - 71 = -38$$

**Answer:** $-38$
