1. The problem is to find the average (mean) of the numbers 80, 95, and 76. 2. The formula for the average of $n$ numbers $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ is: $$\text{Average} = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{n}$$ 3. Here, we have three numbers: 80, 95, and 76. So, $n=3$. 4. Calculate the sum: $$80 + 95 + 76 = 251$$ 5. Divide the sum by the number of values: $$\frac{251}{3} = 83.666...$$ 6. Therefore, the average of the numbers 80, 95, and 76 is approximately $83.67$.
