Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
The average is calculated as
average = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex] Given the average of 7 numbers is 45 , then
[tex]\frac{sum}{7}[/tex] = 45 ( multiply both sides by 7 )
sum of 7 numbers = 315
Subtract 27, 43 from the sum to obtain the sum of first 5 numbers
315 - (27 + 43) = 315 - 70 = 245 , then
average of first 5 numbers = [tex]\frac{245}{5}[/tex] = 49
