$$\frac{8 + 11 + 25 + p}{4}$$ = 15

8 + 11 + 25 + p = 60

The trick is not to misread the question and assume it was asking only for P

Level 400 question =)))

A= S/n

n = 4, A = 15, S = (8+11+25+p)

=> (8+11+25+p) = 4 x 15 = 60

We use the formula for the average to create the equation:

(8 + 11 + 25 + p)/4 = 15

8 + 11 + 25 + p = 60
