Given 4 scores of 81, 83, 87, 89, what should be score number 5 in order to attain an average score of 88?
Setup Average Equation:
Average = | Sum of our 4 numbers + unknown score of x |
| Total Numbers |
88 = | 81 + 83 + 87 + 89 + x |
| 5 |
Cross Multiply
81 + 83 + 87 + 89 + x = 88 x 5
x + 340 = 440
Subtract 340 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x + 340 - 340 = 440 - 340
x = 100
