If the average of 8 numbers is 12, what is the sum of the 8 numbers?

The average of a set of numbers is found by dividing the sum of the numbers by the amount of numbers in the set.

If the average of 8 numbers is 12, that means that the sum of the numbers divided by 8 is equal to 12.

To find the sum, we need to multiply 12 by 8:

sum/8 = 12

(sum/8)*8 = 12*8

sum = 96

The answer is 96.

Either I don't understand the question fully or this has a whole lot of answers.
For example, if all the numbers were 12 there would be an average of 12 and would equal 96 as the sum

Well first we need to subtract the 29.95 from the 100 which equals 70.05 then we divide that by the 48 cents which gives use how far they can go with their mileage, which is  145 miles. hope this helped
