How to calculate an average
To calculate the arithmetic mean, follow these steps:
- Add all the numbers together
- Count how many numbers there are
- Divide the total by the count
Average = Total ÷ Count
For example, calculate the average of 4, 7, 2, 9, and 5:
- Total: 4 + 7 + 2 + 9 + 5 = 27
- Count: 5
- Average: 27 ÷ 5 = 5.4
The average of this list is therefore 5.4.
Examples
Example 1: Average test score
A student receives scores of 72, 80, 68, 90, and 75 on five tests.
Calculation: total 72+80+68+90+75=385, count 5, average 385÷5=77
Average score: 77
Example 2: Daily step count
One week of step counts is 6000, 8000, 7500, 9000, 7000, 6500, and 8500.
Calculation: total 52,500, count 7, average 52,500÷7=7,500
Average steps: 7,500
Example 3: Weekly sales
Sales over four weeks are 120, 150, 130, and 100 units.
Calculation: total 500, count 4, average 500÷4=125
Average sales: 125 units
