Glen will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 27 or more. What is the lowest score Glen must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 27
= 81
To find the lowest score that Glen must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize, the other 2 games must have the highest scores possible.
Total score for the two highest scores
= 24 + 27
= 51
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 81 - 51
= 30
Answer(s): 30
