Gumballs in the Bowl

In order to win a free trip, contestants had to guess the exact number of gumballs in a fish bowl. The contestants guessed 45, 41, 55, 50, and 43; but no one won. The guesses were off (in no particular order!) by 3, 7, 5, 7, and 2.

Do you know how many gumballs there were in the bowl?



BTW, Sorry there was no post yesterday!

    48

    41+7=48
    43+5=48
    45+3=48
    50-2=48
    55-7=48
