Okay, let's see. The problem is about a class of 30 students. The average score of the whole class is 70. The top 10 students have an average of 85, and the bottom 10 have an average of 50. We need to find the average score of the middle 10 students.
First, I need to recall that the average score is the total sum of all scores divided by the number of students. So, for the entire class, the total sum of scores would be 30 students multiplied by 70, which is 2100. That makes sense because average is sum divided by number.
Wait, let me check my math again to make sure. Total class sum: 30 * 70 = 2100. Correct. Top 10 sum: 10 * 85 = 850. Bottom 10 sum: 10 * 50 = 500. Adding those: 850 + 500 = 1350. Subtracting that from the total: 2100 - 1350 = 750. Divided by 10 students: 750 / 10 = 75. Yep, that seems right.
