The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 61. What is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers?  Choose the correct choice from the following: A) 6 B) 7 C) 8 D) 4 E) 1
Let the numbers x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8   Then, [x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)]5 = 61   or 5x + 20 = 305 =&gt; x = 57   So, required difference = (57 + 8) - 57=
