The sum of four consecutive whole numbers is 94. what is the largest numbers?

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of four consecutive whole numbers is 94 and it asks us to find the largest number.

Three consecutive whole numbers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first number

X + 1 ⇒ second number

X + 2 ⇒ third number

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number

Since the sum of our four consecutive whole numbers is 94, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 = 94

We can combine the x's on the left side of the equation and combine the numbers as well.

4x + 6 = 94

-6 - 6 ← subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4x = 88

:4 : 4

X = 22

X ⇒ first number = 22

X + 1 ⇒ second number = 23

X + 2 ⇒ third number = 24

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number = 25

Therefore, the largest number would be 25.
