The temperature in New York in June 2020 was 80 degrees. If the temperature in Miami on this day was 10 degrees hotter than the temperature in New York, and 25 degrees cooler than the temperature in San Diego, what was the average temperature for the three cities?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
If it was 10 degrees hotter on this day in Miami than in New York, then the temperature in Miami was 80 + 10 = 90 degrees. If it was 25 degrees cooler in Miami than in San Diego, then the temperature in San Diego was 90 + 25 = 115 degrees. The total temperature for all the cities is 115 + 90 + 80 = 285 degrees. The average temperature of the three cities is 285 / 3 = 95 degrees.
Thus, the answer is 95.
