When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 474?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=85 and Y=474.

To find the number halfway between 85 and 474, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 85 and 474 into our formula, we get:
(85 + 474)/2 = 279.5
Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 474 is 279.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 279.5 and subtract 279.5 from 474 and compare the two numbers:
279.5 - 85 = 194.5
474 - 279.5 = 194.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 194.5 higher than 85 and 194.5 lower than 474. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279.5 above is correct.
