How do you find an average?

Finding the average is a very straightforward concept. If you have a set of numbers, the average is found by adding all numbers in the set and dividing their sum by the total number of numbers added in the set.

example;

16, 17, 5, 27, 30, 20, 4, 1, 19, 9

add all 10 of these numbers together

16 + 17 + 5+27+30+4+1+19+9 = 148

divide 128 by 10

148 / 10 = 14.8

14.8 is the average
