Given, a+b+c+5+6=5*6=30
Or, a+b+c+5+6+2=30+2=32
Or, \(\frac{a+b+c+13}{4}=\frac{32}{4}=8\)
Or, average of a, b, c, and 13 is 8
Ans. (A)

\(\frac{a + b + c + d + 5 + 6}{5 = 6}\)
a + b + c + d + 11 = 30
a + b + c = 19
a + b + c + 13 / 4
\(\frac{19 + 13}{4}\)
= \(\frac{32}{4}\)
= 8
The best answer is A.

\(a + b + c + 5 + 6 = 30\)
So, \(a + b + c = 19\)
So, the average of a, b, c, and 13 = \(\frac{19 + 13}{4} = 8\) Answer must be (A) _________________

We can create the equation:
(a + b + c + 5 + 6)/5 = 6
a + b + c + 11 = 30
a + b + c = 19
So the average of a, b, c, and 13 is:
(a + b + c + 13)/4
(19 + 13)/4
32/4 = 8
Answer: A
