This code performs the following actions step-by-step:

1. double total = 25.5;

   • A double variable named total is declared and initialized with the value 25.5. It represents a total value (e.g., total of scores, sum, etc.).

2. int numScores = 3;

   • An int (integer) variable named numScores is declared and initialized with the value 3. It represents the number of scores or elements involved.

3. double ave = total / numScores;

   • A double variable named ave is declared and initialized with the result of dividing total by numScores.
   • Since total is of type double and numScores is of type int, the division first promotes numScores to a double, ensuring floating-point division.
   • The result of 25.5 / 3 is calculated, yielding 8.5, which is stored in ave.

Summary:

The code calculates the average (ave) of three scores given that their total is 25.5. The result (8.5) is stored in the variable ave.
