Given 3 scores of 86, 88, 78, what should be score number 4 in order to attain an average score of 83?
Setup Average Equation:
Average = | Sum of our 3 numbers + unknown score of x |
| Total Numbers |
Cross Multiply
86 + 88 + 78 + x = 83 x 4
x + 252 = 332
Subtract 252 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x + 252 - 252 = 332 - 252
x = 80
